This Casemiro tackle on Robben (GIF VIDEO BELOW) was another talking point in Real Madrid’s 4-2 CL win over Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu. Casemiro’s challenge on Robben in the 80th minute went unpunished by referee Viktor Kassai.
The conspiracy theorists on social media pointed that Kassai allegedly went to his pocket on seeing the tackle, but did not take out a card. A yellow for Casemiro would have been his second of the game and would’ve seen him sent off. Minutes later, Arturo Vidal was controversially sent off for this challenge on Asensio.
