Bayern Munich secured their spot in the Champions League semi-finals after a wild victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday night (4-3).
09:26 – The referee killed the match
“You can’t send a player off for that,” declares Alvaro Arbeloa, speaking to Movistar. “I don’t think the referee knew he had already received a yellow, and that’s why he showed the second one. The referee ruined the match. He ruined a very balanced contest, and that’s how the match ended.” The Real Madrid coach maintained the sentiment in an interview with Canal+: “No one understands that red card, it unbalanced the match. The La Liga remains, we have to finish the season. My future is not a big concern, I’m thinking about my players. Real Madrid always bounces back.” So he will try to do so after a most likely trophyless season. A rarity within the white house.
