In the early morning of September 17, there were 6 first games in the first round of the 2025-26 Champions League. In a focus game, Real Madrid reversed Marseille 2-1 at home. In this game, Real Madrid captain Carvajal was sent off when he was uneasy at the end of the game, knocking over his opponent, almost causing the team to lose points at home.

In this game, Kavajal was originally a substitute rest. However, Arnold retired after being injured in the first 5 minutes of the game, forcing the 33-year-old captain to make his debut early. In the 71st minute of the game, Carvajal broke out in a verbal conflict with Marseille goalkeeper Ruli.

Rulli said something that angered Carvajal. After the two of them beat each other, Carvajal overturned Luli, and the Argentine goalkeeper quickly fell to the ground and lay on the ground with a painful expression. After VAR intervened, the referee looked back at the penalty and directly reprimanded. Carvajal was sent off, and Real Madrid had to beat one less player in the remaining time. Although Ruli's acting skills are a bit exaggerated, Kavajal lost his cool and beat his opponent, and there was no controversy over the red card according to the rules. After the battle was dyed red, Kavajal set three embarrassing records. 1. This is the first time he has been dyed red in the Champions League. 2. He has become the first player to be sent off at home in the Champions League in the past five years (the previous player was Ramos of Manchester City in 2020). 3. Carvajal is also the first player in Real Madrid's history and was shown a red card in the Champions League after VAR inspection.

Fortunately, Real Madrid, who played one less, then relied on penalty kicks to complete their final victory and had a thrilling start. However, in the next round of the Champions League, Carvajal will be suspended and Arnold will recover unknown, and Real Madrid will have no one to be available in the right back. Valverde may have to withdraw and play as a guest right back again.
