Álvaro Arbeloa questioned the performance of referee Michael Oliver after Bayern Munich’s Jonathan Tah escaped a red card for serious foul play despite catching Kylian Mbappé on the calf—a tackle that left a gaping hole in the Frenchman’s sock and a nasty wound.
The hosts fell to a 2–1 defeat at the Bernabéu, courtesy of goals from Luis Díaz and Harry Kane either side of halftime. Mbappé pulled one back late on after tapping in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s piercing cross and was Madrid’s standout performer on the night—he might’ve scored more as he registered six shots in total and was a general nuisance to Bayern’s backline throughout.
