Arbeloa: Camavinga’s being sent off was an injustice

Alvaro Arbeloa has shared that for him it was unjust for Eduardo Camavinga to be shown 2^nd yellow card and being sent off during Los Blancos’ dramatic UCL ¼ final exit against Bayern Munich. The Royal club manager has questioned the official’s competence after a chaotic 6-4 aggregate loss ended Real’s hopes of winning a 16^th Champions League trophy.

Arbeloa revealed that official Slavko Vincic lacked the basic awareness of which footballers had already been booked.

The manager shared that the referee only shown 2^nd yellow to Camavinga after being prompted by Bayern Munich footballers, and that affected the whole tie.

“Nobody understands how a footballer can be shown 2^nd yellow card for a thing like that… it feels awful and unjust. I believe the official showed him a yellow because he didn’t realize he already had one… because the home players had to go and tell him it was his 2^nd, but for me, it’s not even a yellow-card offense,” claimed Alvaro.
