MADRID (AP) — Veteran Real Madrid defender Danicarval has been sent off after masterminding Marseille goalkeeper Guerinimo Ruri in a Champions League match on Tuesday.
Carbahal and Ruri were exchanging words in the area before Madrid’s corner kick as the defender approached the goalkeeper and hit the face with their heads.
The referee clearly did not see Carbajar’s actions, but the Marseille player complained immediately. The video review eventually informed the judge, and he showed Kavajal a red card 72 minutes after seeing the play by the sideline.
Carvallar, the captain of Madrid at the time, was in the match in five minutes to replace the injured Trent Alexander Arnold.
The game was tied to 1-1 at the time of the incident. Madrid won 2-1 with a penalty kick goal by Killian Mbappe.
