If Mbappé suffered the brunt of the criticism, Petit also named Eduardo Camavinga as one of the main responsible for the tactical collapse against Bayern. The versatile 23-year-old midfielder was sent off after two yellow cards for a foul and then for delaying the resumption of play, an incident which Petit said dashed Madrid’s hopes of a comeback at the Allianz Arena.
“If anyone should be blamed, it’s Camavinga,” he added. “His fault was catastrophic. At this point in the match (86th minute), the red card was very severe, but the referee only applied the rules. Real always hides behind the referee’s performance. » Beaten 6-4 over the two matches, the reigning Spanish champion thus leaves the European competition.
