Exciting Champions League night! In the second leg of the semi-finals, Real Madrid hosted Manchester City. In the 7th minute of the match, the two teams clashed: Laporte punched Modric in the chest and slapped Real Madrid No. 10. The referee showed a yellow card to warn Modric and Laporte.
Ancelotti
In the first leg of the battle, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4-3 at home, and the game process was full of ups and downs, which was a classic. 24 hours ago, Liverpool took the lead in reaching the Champions League final, waiting for the winners of Manchester City and Real Madrid. The Bernabeu Stadium was packed, with fans playing Out Benzema's superstar TIFO in a tribute to the Golden Ball favourites.
Such a life-and-death battle is bound to be full of gunpowder. In the 7th minute, the two teams broke out into a clash:
Casemiro vs De Bruyne
Casemiro brought down City core De Bruyne from behind and City won a free kick. Manchester City players such as De Bruyne, Laporte, B-Seat, Mahrez, Ruben Díaz surrounded the referee and put pressure on the referee, hoping to show a yellow card to warn Casemiro.
Modric also stepped forward, trying to communicate with the referee. Manchester city defender Laporte pushed Modric away, and notice that Laporte clenched his fists and pushed the flute away with his fists.
The Real Madrid players couldn't stand it anymore – Vinicius rushed up first, and Modric was also annoyed and fought back at Laporte, who covered his face and fell. Rubendiaz pushed Modric away, and the smell of gunpowder for the game was even stronger! Manchester City full-back Walker carried Modric away to avoid the gaffe and move in a more serious direction.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, when Laporte fell, he also sneaked up on Modric - slapping Real Madrid No. 10, which is a very bad little action.
Angry Modric
The referee showed Modric and Laporte a yellow card each. On social platforms, fans and the media questioned that such a penalty was very controversial: Laporte's punishment was somewhat light, and the "good old man" Modric was yellowed with some injustice - Laporte moved first, exaggeratedly covered his face and fell to the ground, and slapped Modric, giving Manchester City a red card.
Modric also locked his throat
Of course, the live footage failed to show 100% of the scene, and in fact, the yellow card of the 2018 Golden Globe winner Modric was not unjust. Judging from the photos of the scene, Modric also moved his hand, first locking the throat laporte, and then Laporte punched and slapped. These conflicts are all in the eyes of the referee.
