After the draw in Leverkusen, a yellow-red card against Diaz caused discussions at FC Bayern. Coaches and players show a lack of understanding and Uli Hoeneß in particular is upset about the referee’s performance.
“This is the worst performance by a team of referees that I have ever experienced in a Bundesliga game,” said Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß, according to “Bild”. the 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen.

There is also a lack of understanding among the players about the decision. “I don’t want to advocate a penalty, but that’s not a swallow in life,” said Joshua Kimmich on DAZN. “When I see the pictures, there is a contact. You can’t deny it.”
Diaz was lightly hit in the leg by Leverkusen goalkeeper Janis Blaswich in the penalty area. The Colombian went down but immediately got back up and didn’t ask for a penalty. Referee Christian Dingert still gave the striker a second yellow card.

“Nobody in the stadium knows why he got the red card. It’s crazy,” said coach Vincent Kompany. “Someone has to explain to me why it’s yellow.” Jonathan Tah also emphasized on Sky that Diaz would get back up straight away. “He doesn’t do any drama, he doesn’t do any shows.”

Dingert commented on the scene after the game. “From the game, I noticed that the player Diaz was taking off. I didn’t notice the subsequent hit on the foot,” said the 45-year-old. “When I see the pictures, I say: no penalty, that’s clear and yellow-red is very hard. If I see the pictures now, I wouldn’t give it like that again.”
Kompany also sees a need for discussion when it comes to disallowed goals
Bayern didn’t want to leave any room for discussion when Nicolas Jackson was legitimately sent off in the 42nd minute. The two disallowed goals by Tah (26th) and Harry Kane (61st), however, worried Kompany more. Tah’s arm bounced the ball into the goal. “Should he put his arm around his head?” Kompany asked.
Kane’s goal was disallowed because he caught the ball on his arm while blocking a Blaswich clearance attempt. “The decisions with the video referee are sometimes questionable,” said Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich. “You’re welcome to intervene with very clear decisions. But not with the block, whether there’s a bit of hand in it or not. He shoots it from a meter.”
