In a dramatic UEFA Champions League quarter-final match on April 15, 2026, Real Madrid was eliminated by Bayern Munich, leading to significant frustration among the Madrid players. Dani Carvajal directed his anger towards referee Slavko Vincic, claiming, “It’s your fault. It’s your f***ing fault,” after the match. The game featured several controversial officiating decisions, including a free-kick goal credited to Real Madrid that was deemed a dive by Brahim Diaz. Additionally, Antonio Rüdiger's foul on Bayern's Josip Stanisic went unpunished, contributing to Bayern's third goal.
