Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the Champions League quarterfinal return leg at Allianz Arena—advancing 6-4 aggregate following their 2-1 first-leg win—to reach the semifinals against PSG. A disputed second yellow to Eduardo Camavinga in the 86th minute swung the match, with Luis Díaz and Michael Olise scoring late winners. Real coach Álvaro Arbeloa slammed referee Slavko Vinčić's 'inexplicable' decision.
Real Madrid arrived at the Allianz Arena needing to overturn a 1-2 first-leg deficit from the quarterfinal first leg, fielding an attacking lineup despite Tchouaméni's suspension. The game started disastrously for hosts Bayern: Manuel Neuer erred on a clearance, allowing Arda Güler to score after just 34 seconds—Bayern's fastest-ever Champions League goal conceded. Aleksandar Pavlović equalized in the 6th minute, but Güler restored Real's lead with a 29th-minute free kick. Harry Kane leveled at 38', before Kylian Mbappé fired Real 3-2 ahead just before halftime (42nd).
The second half remained tight until Camavinga, subbed on at the 62nd minute, received his first yellow for grabbing Jamal Musiala. In the 86th, Vinčić showed a second yellow for a foul on Kane followed by holding the ball—reducing Real to 10 men. Madrid locker-room sources claimed the Slovenian referee had forgotten the initial booking, only issuing the red after Bayern protests. Three minutes later, Luis Díaz equalized (89th), and Michael Olise sealed Bayern's win in stoppage time (90+4'). Güler, who starred with two goals, was later red-carded for protesting the decision.
Real coach Álvaro Arbeloa was scathing: 'Camavinga's expulsion is inexplicable. Nobody understands expelling a player in a match like this for that. It's inexplicable and unfair.' He added: 'The referee decided the game. It was a referee's mistake. Incomprehensible.' Teammate Jude Bellingham called it 'impossible,' while Spanish press decried it as 'such an injustice' and the 'dumbest red card.'
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany picked up a yellow and will miss the semifinal first leg on April 28 in Paris, prompting sporting director Max Eberl to quip: 'Now the coach is suspended—oh my God,' before celebrating the advancement. Real Madrid's campaign ends virtually trophyless, save for the European Supercup.
