Wesley Sneijder has launched a scathing attack on Real Madrid’s players following their explosive Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich. The former Bernabeu midfielder criticised the squad’s decision to target the referee instead of holding Eduardo Camavinga accountable for his “stupid” dismissal during the quarter-final second leg.
Questioning the team’s choice to confront the referee after the final whistle, Sneijder said on Ziggo Sport: “This should not happen at this level. It is stupidity. We were all expecting extra time; you could feel it from both teams. It is incomprehensible that he does this while already having a yellow card in his pocket. There is something I don’t understand at all: that they are angry with the referee when what they should be doing is going into the dressing room and speaking with Camavinga, not the official.”
