In a pivotal moment during the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga received a red card for time-wasting, leaving Real Madrid with ten players. This decision, made by referee Slavko Vincic, has drawn significant criticism from Real Madrid, who argue it was overly harsh. Bayern Munich's sporting director, Max Eberl, defended the referee's actions, explaining that the official was simply enforcing the rules after realizing Camavinga had already been cautioned earlier in the match. Eberl stated, “If he wasn’t aware of that [that Camavinga had already been booked], then it was a straight yellow card,” emphasizing the necessity of following the rules. The dismissal occurred in the closing stages of the game, allowing Bayern to capitalize on the situation and secure their advancement to the semi-finals.
