In a focus battle in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final that ended in the early morning of May 5, Beijing time, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-1 at home, thus defeating the opponent 6-5 on aggregate and advancing to the Champions League final for the 17th time in the history of the team. Although it is gratifying that Real Madrid will reach the Champions League final after a gap of four years, there are still some controversies about their promotion process in this game. For example, the back Ofe miro, it seems that he should have been sent off in the first half.
In the first leg, Casemiro was sidelined due to injury. Without the iron gate, Real Madrid conceded four goals and lost 3-4. In the second leg, the Brazilian international made a comeback. However, in the face of the impact of Manchester City's luxurious attack group, Casemiro was also very embarrassed in the first half. Shortly after the opening, Casemiro was very fierce with scissors and feet to tackle, overturning the heart of Manchester City De Bruyne.
Because Casemiro did not touch the ball, but directly put De Bruyne to the ground. The Osato referee awarded a free kick but did not show a yellow card. Dissatisfied with Casemiro's bad foul not being punished as it should be, clashes broke out between the two teams, and Modric and Laporte were each given yellow cards.
Also in the first half, Casemiro, having been rid of it, pulled Down Foden directly behind his back to prevent the latter from escaping, while Casemiro also pretended to be a victim, but it was strange that the referee did not show a yellow card again. Iturraalde, a referee on Radio Serre, questioned that Casemiro's move to bring down Foden should be given a yellow card.
Perhaps dissatisfied with the referee's decision, Catalonia's Daily Sport tweeted for Guardiola's team: "Casemiro escaped the yellow card twice is a scandal!" Casemiro seems to be a player who is exempt from punishment, and in the same situation, if other players eat yellow cards, he will not eat. ”
Imagine if Casemiro had left the field in the first half after accumulating two yellow cards for these two fouls, without the midfielder gate, the number of disadvantaged Real Madrid may be difficult to achieve a big reversal in the last moments, and it may be Manchester City rather than Real Madrid who will enter the final of this season's Champions League.
