In this occasion Casemiro did not deserve the red card, but yes a yellow that did not show him in the first part, and that would have done that it played conditioned the rest of the meeting of turn of semifinals of Champions League against the Athletic of Madrid.
It ran around the half hour of party when the Brazilian midfield player swept to Antoine Griezmann, that initiated a contragolpe very promising against the goal of Keylor Navas. In spite of that the action was of clear yellow card, the Turkish referee Cuneyt Çakir decided to save it, showing more cards for protesting that by hard faults.
Casemiro, the eternal forgiven of the Real Madrid
In definite, a new cardboard "forgiven" for Casemiro, that is not the first and surely neither will be the last. The Brazilian deserved to be expelled in the turn of quarter-finals against the Bayern Munich, but was Arturo Vidal the elected.
Also it deserved to remain out of the meeting before the ninety minutes in the last parties against Valencia and FC Barcelona in Santiago Bernabéu, but neither went like this. It seems that an aureole of protection protects to Casemiro of the yellow cards, and in consequence of the red, although it is one of the most intense players "" -as they would say in Cornellá- of LaLiga. In Champions League, at all changes.
