At the hour of play, Eduardo Camavinga experienced a nightmare during the Champions League quarter-final second leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid (4-3) on Wednesday. After receiving a yellow card for a first gross foul, he was later excluded for time wasting.
His popularity is unlikely to rise in Madrid. Even though some will first target the referee. Substituted in the 62nd minute of play on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-final second leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid (4-3), Eduardo Camavinga managed to be sent off in the 86th minute. Three minutes later, Luis Diaz knocked out the Merengues with a sublime strike.
The Real team was reduced to 10 players. Substituted in place of Brahim Diaz, the former Rennes player was first cautioned for fouling Jamal Musiala (78th). Then he was guilty of trying to waste time by holding the ball for a few seconds after committing a foul. Two consecutive warnings in just 8 minutes, resulting in a red card for the French international (23 years old).
In a completely crazy scenario, a week after Bayern’s victory in the first leg (2-1), Real eventually collapsed with a numerical disadvantage. With Luis Diaz’s goal at the end of regulation time (89th), and a gem from Michael Olise (90th+4) to kill any suspense. The Bayern team, who defeated Kylian Mbappé’s Real, will face PSG in the Champions League semi-finals. But in Madrid, the debates in the coming hours are likely to revolve around the refereeing of the Slovenian Slavko Vincic.
