Major protests from Real Madrid at the end of the match in Munich against Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić, who the Spaniards blamed for ruining a beautiful and balanced match by sending off midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in the 86th minute, with the score 2-3 for the Madrid team.
An exclusion for two yellow cards, the second for holding the ball, which has sparked anger in Spain, especially in the media close to the capital's club.
During the "Marcador" show on Radio Marca, former international referee Alfonso Pérez Burrull commented on the judge's decision, reports "Gazeta Express".
"In the 86th minute Vinčić showed Camavinga his second yellow card for holding the ball. But you can't send a player off for that, there's no way to justify a red card like that."
He continued: "It is absolutely disproportionate to send off a player for such an action. He only holds the ball for three seconds and the referee should be much more balanced, considering the weight of the match and the impact it has on the game. This is close to an abuse of power."
According to many commentators, Vinčić may have forgotten that he had previously punished the French midfielder and, after issuing a second yellow card, had no way of going back on his decision.
In the final chaos of the match, the referee also sent off Arda Güler for his continued protests, further increasing the tension in a match that continues to cause great controversy. /Express newspaper
