Kompany condemns Olise's red card after Bayern's shaky comeback

On the Champions League night in Munich, Bayern Munich turned a 2‑0 deficit into a 2‑3 lead, but Michael Olise’s second yellow card put the team in trouble and he will miss the next match against Arsenal.

Olise’s foul and dismissal

After a comeback with two goals from Harry Kane and one from Luis Díaz, Olise received a yellow card for a foul in the 73rd minute. He then threw the ball at the face of Viking captain Zlatko Tripic, received a second yellow card and had to leave the field.

Kompany’s strong reaction

Vincent Kompany, the Belgian coach of Bayern, called Olise’s dismissal “extremely stupid” and emphasized that provocations are no excuse. He said: “Olise will always be provoked by his opponents, but that must not be an excuse. This is 100 % his own fault.” Kompany added that the opponent’s number 10 was smarter than Olise.
