FootballFans Want Carvajal Banned for Reckless Push on Grealish During Madrid v Man City Game
- Real Madrid and Manchester City settled for a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg
- Vinicius Jr put Los Blancos ahead before Kevin De Bruyne equalised in the second half with a ferocious shot
- The game was intense and had moments where players got in each other's faces and fans have given their take on one of them
Football fans are not too impressed with the conduct of Dani Carvajal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final encounter between Real Madrid and Manchester City at Santiago Bernabeu.
The highly anticipated game did not disappoint. It was keenly contested and dramatic from the first to the last minute, and the two teams justifiably settled for a draw.
Brazilian star Vinicius Jr put Los Blancos ahead with a brilliant first-half strike before Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne hit a thunderous shot into the bottom corner in the second half.
According to Mirror UK, Bernardo Silva controlled the ball out of play for City's goal, but it was allowed to stand regardless, much to the dismay of Madrid fans, but the English fans also have a claim over an incident involving Carvajal and Jack Grealish.

Fans react to Carvajal's foul
According to SportBible, Carvajal and Grealish contested for the ball, which went out for a goal kick. However, the Spanish defender budged into the attacker from behind, sending him tumbling into the advertising boards.
Grealish launched an arm that missed the Madrid player, but he went to the ground rolling. The referee produced no card, and the two left the scene laughing, but fans wanted the right back sanctioned.

''Missed the follow up swipe from Grealish and dive from Carvajal. The sooner refs dish out red cards for diving, the better this game will be.''

KDB's goal shouldn't have stood
Sports Brief previously reported that Kevin De Bruyne's powerful striker should not have stood after Bernardo Silva controlled the ball out of play in the build-up.
Carlo Ancelotti was shown a yellow card for complaining to the referee, who overlooked the incident, which could be pivotal in the final result.
