His red card received on Wednesday against Bayern Munich in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League is hotly contested by Real Madrid, but Eduardo Camavinga had already been sent off for the same reason against Arsenal almost a year ago, to the day.<\/p>\n
He didn’t learn his lesson. Eduardo Camavinga must have felt a strange taste of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu when he received his red card on Wednesday in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid (4-3). With a touch of incomprehension as well. The 23-year-old French midfielder received a second yellow card for holding the ball for a few seconds following a foul called against him by referee Slavko Vincic (86th). He had been warned a few minutes earlier for an anti-playing foul on Jamal Musiala (78th).<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t expel a player for that,\u201d his coach Alvaro Arbeloa raged on Movistar. “I think the referee didn’t know he already had a yellow, and that’s why he gave the second one. The referee ruined the match. He ruined a very balanced confrontation, and that’s where the match ended.”<\/p>\n
If Real Madrid cries scandal and the decision may seem harsh, Eduardo Camvinga, excluded while the Merengue club led 3-2 and was heading towards extra time, was nevertheless a man warned. The 2022 world vice-champion was excluded just a year ago (April 8, 2025) for the same reason and in the same competition during the quarter-final first leg lost at Arsenal (3-0). First warned for a foul (69th), the former Rennais received a second warning for having cleared – in anger – the ball into touch after a foul called against Lucas Vazquez. If it was more of a gesture of humor than a desire to save time, the reason given in the match report was the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cIronically, Camavinga had already been sent off last year against Arsenal for the same reason: having kept or moved the ball when he had already received a yellow card,\u201d specifies Radio Marca refereeing consultant Alfonso P\u00e9rez Burrull. His bout of bloodshed in London deprived him of the return match in Spain, lost against the Gunners (1-2). He would not have played it anyway since his first yellow received in the match was already synonymous with suspension for the following match. His red at the Emirates Stadium was the first since signing for Real Madrid in 2021 from Rennes for 30 million euros. He just added another one to his collection a little over a year later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
