Double standards: Militao sent off while Barca's Araujo not even carded for similar last-man foul
  • Real Madrid lost to Levante 2-1 on Saturday evening in the match marred by the refereeing controversies.
  • In the 7th minute, Eder Militao was sent off for the alleged last-man foul.

  • The referee initially showed him a yellow card which was upgraded to the straight red after the VAR intervened.
  • However, Barcelona's centre-back Ronald Araujo was treated differently in a similar incident on December 16, 2020.
  • In the game against Real Sociedad, Araujo committed a more obvious foul but didn't even receive a yellow card while the VAR completely ignored the whole episode.

  • As for Militao, it's his first red card in 26 matches for Real Madrid. He hadn't been sent off since November 2017 when he was still at Sao Paulo.
