FCB does not accept the yellow card shown to the Colombian player and is lodging an appeal – even though there is little chance of success.

In Leverkusen, nine Bayern players managed to secure a point. Afterwards, all the attention turned to the referee. Criticism came even from the very top of the FCB hierarchy.

Bayern Munich were extremely upset about some of the referee's decisions in Leverkusen. Max Eberl, however, struck a conciliatory tone.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany could not hide his frustration after seeing Luis Diaz dismissed in the closing stages of a pulsating encounter against Bayer Leverkusen. Diaz, who had earlier netted the equaliser for the visitors, was shown a second yellow card for an alleged dive after a challenge from Leverkusen goalkeeper Janis Blaswich.

FC Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen on matchday 26 of the Bundesliga was marred by a number of controversial decisions by referee Christian Dingert, who disallowed two of Munich’s goals and sent off Luis Diaz for an alleged dive. He says he would not make that decision again.
