Real Madrid secured their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, overcoming Manchester City with a 2-1 victory.
The game took a turn after the expulsion of Nani, altering the course of the match. Roland Courbis, the former coach of Niger and Olympique de Marseille (OM), highlighted the significance of the red card. Courbis expressed his support for introducing a temporary exclusion rule in football for serious offenses. While acknowledging that Nani may not have intended harm, Courbis suggested that the red card was a pivotal moment in such an important match, and simplifying the decision-making process for referees could be beneficial. The idea of a temporary expulsion is present in other sports like basketball and handball.
