Football fans are talking about the red card that referee Slavko Vincic showed to Eduardo Camavinga in the 86th minute, with the score tied, and Marca highlighted the expert comments on the refereeing and stated that the world was outraged by the decision.
The move that left Real with one less player and ultimately cost them elimination from the Champions League against Bayern caused an avalanche of reactions and many in Spain consider it absurd and decisive for the outcome of the duel.
"It is absolutely disproportionate to send off a player for this type of action. He only holds the ball for three seconds and the referee should be much more balanced in terms of the risks and the impact on the game. This borders on abuse of power," said Alfonso Perez Burrull of Radio Marca, while Tiempo de Juego's refereeing expert Pedro Martin was even harsher:
"Vincic acted in haste and sent off the player for a small thing, almost for nothing. It is one of those sending-offs that will go down in Champions League history because of the minute it happened, the result, the stage of the competition and the opponent. The referee was bad and had a decisive influence on the result."
Former referee Mateu Lahoz told Movistar+ that the referee was confused, meaning he didn't realize it was a second yellow card and that it was clear that Camavinga could have avoided it.
Eduardo Iturralde of Carrusel Deportivo has also criticized the refereeing team.
"At this level, you can't warn a player about this and leave the team with ten men. A referee who understands the game would have handled the situation better. Bad game management by Vincic, but Camavinga shouldn't have taken the ball," Iturralde stressed.
In its text, Marca highlighted the comments of the world media, which mainly consider it doubtful whether Vincic would have shown a second yellow card if he had immediately understood that the Frenchman was threatened with expulsion./Telegraph/
