Bayern Munich’s Champions League match against Real Madrid is imminent.
However, Bayern Munich must also be aware of yellow card accumulation.
Upamecano Walks a Suspension Tightrope
Four Bayern Munich players are in danger of suspension ahead of the Real Madrid match: Konrad Laimer, Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, and Jonathan Tah.
If any of those players are assessed a yellow card, they would miss the first leg in the semifinal round if Bayern Munich advances.
Kompany’s Perspective on Potential Suspensions
Vincent Kompany stated that he is not concerned with the yellow cards.
He said that none of it will matter if the team does not advance.
Kompany added, “That’s not a topic right now, although I need to say it’s maybe a topic for next year. I think it’s really tough to come through these rounds in Europe without suspensions. There are more games now but you still have a suspension after three cards. If you get this far with only three yellows, you’ve done well but will still be suspended for a semi-final. That’s tough. I think this suspension rule is a bit aggressive. It’s the same for everyone. But I’d think about it again for next year. This logic is too harsh. But it’s not a topic for today.”
Bayern Munich cannot be concerned with yellow card counts for this game.
