Real Madrid Out of Champions League After Camavinga Red Card and Bayern’s Late Rally

The loss deepens a turbulent month for the club, placing Álvaro Arbeloa under fresh scrutiny.

Overview

  • Real Madrid, playing in Munich on Wednesday, lost 4–3 to Bayern after conceding in the 89th minute and in stoppage time to go out of the Champions League.
  • Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga received a second yellow card for delaying the restart, which left Madrid with 10 men and opened space that Bayern exploited late.
  • Coach Álvaro Arbeloa called the dismissal unjust and said it ruined the game, while Spanish outlet AS blasted referee Slavko Vinčić and Marca balanced criticism with blame on Madrid’s play.
  • Club president Florentino Pérez addressed the locker room after the match and told players that two seasons without trophies are intolerable, with LaLiga now their only target as they trail Barcelona by nine points.
  • Terra, citing The Athletic, reports the club is planning changes and that Arbeloa will probably be dismissed mid-year, although no decision has been announced.
