Real Madrid's players were visibly upset following a controversial red card issued to Eduardo Camavinga during their UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich on April 15, 2026. Jude Bellingham, walking past journalists, expressed his disbelief by calling the decision a 'joke.' Antonio Rüdiger chose not to comment, reflecting the team's collective frustration. Real Madrid had managed to score three goals and equalize the aggregate score by halftime, but Camavinga's dismissal for a second yellow card due to time-wasting disrupted their momentum. Álvaro Arbeloa criticized referee Slavko Vincic, suggesting he may not have been aware that Camavinga was already on a yellow card. The team quickly left the mixed zone, indicating their disappointment, and is now set for a break before their next La Liga match against Alavés.
