Harry Kane shrugs off Real Madrid fury over Camavinga’s red card
Harry Kane has dismissed Real Madrid’s fury following Eduardo Camavinga’s controversial red card as Bayern Munich secured a dramatic Champions League quarter-final victory.
The German side progressed to the semi-finals after scoring twice in the dying moments at the Allianz Arena.
Their late surge followed Camavinga’s dismissal for a second bookable offence, which occurred with the aggregate score locked at 4-4.
The French midfielder was penalised by referee Slavko Vincic for throwing the ball away after a foul was awarded to Bayern.
Madrid fury boils over
The sending-off sparked outrage among the visitors, who crowded the match official after the final whistle.
England international Jude Bellingham branded the decision a joke, while veteran defender Dani Carvajal was seen screaming at the referee.
Tensions continued to escalate long after the match concluded, culminating in a post-match red card for substitute Arda Guler.
Kane shrugs off complaints
When informed of the intense anger in the opposition camp, the England captain offered little sympathy.
“I’m sure they are, but they’ve had many things go their way over the years.”
The former Tottenham striker noted that throwing the ball away while already on a booking is always a substantial risk.
“The ref made a decision, and it’s nice to get one in our favour.”
Kane, who registered his 50th goal of the campaign during the chaotic encounter, described the second leg as a uniquely special night.
Semi-final showdown awaits
Bayern will now prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in a highly anticipated semi-final clash.
The first leg is scheduled to take place at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, 28 April.
Expecting a demanding tactical battle, the prolific forward praised Luis Enrique’s team for their intense man-for-man pressure and individual quality.
“One of the best in Europe for sure, reigning European champions for a reason. Hopefully, we can come out on top.”
