In a recent UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, former Bayern Munich manager Felix Magath criticized the decision to send off Eduardo Camavinga of Real Madrid for time-wasting. The match saw Real Madrid initially take the lead with a goal from Arda Guler, but Bayern Munich ultimately triumphed, advancing to the semi-finals with a score of 3-2 on aggregate after a late surge. Magath stated, 'It was a wrong decision. A sending-off is far too harsh; I see no justification for the decision to dismiss the player.' Despite the red card controversy, he acknowledged that Bayern deserved to progress based on their overall performance across both legs of the tie. Real Madrid, now eliminated from the Champions League, will focus on their La Liga campaign, where they trail Barcelona by nine points with seven matches remaining.
