Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa criticised the decision to send off Eduardo Camavinga after his team were eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Substitute Camavinga picked up two yellow cards in quick succession to be dismissed with four minutes remaining of the quarter-final second leg.

The tie was level when Camavinga was shown red but Bayern scored twice late to win 4-3 on the night, 6-4 on aggregate, and book a clash with holders Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.

The Frenchman's second yellow appeared to be shown for delaying the restart after he had fouled Harry Kane.

"It's unbelievable that you can send off a player for this action in a match like this," Arbeloa told TNT Sports.

"We feel really upset, really angry, really disappointing. This felt like a defining game in our season."

Walking past reporters after the match, Real midfielder Jude Bellingham said the decision was "a joke".

The defeat leaves Real Madrid set to finish a second straight season without a major trophy, with Arbeloa's side nine points behind leaders Barcelona with nine games to play in La Liga.
