Guardiola explains altercation with De Bruyne during the UCL game against Real Madrid
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne had a disagreement with Pep Guardiola during their win against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final.
However, there was a dispute surrounding the substitution, as another Real Madrid player, Marco Asensio, is believed to have been the player initially meant to be substituted and appeared to leave the pitch before Camavinga’s injury.
Real Madrid risk points deduction with Asensio, Camavinga mix-up
The action of Asensio leaving the pitch and then returning to the match after the substitution had been made contravenes the laws of the game which states, “Substitutions will be effective when the substitute enters the pitch. From that moment, the player who leaves the pitch becomes a substituted player, and the substitute becomes a player, so he can resume play.”

Kevin De Bruyne and 4 other players that publicly clashed with their managers
Kevin De Bruyne has joined a long list of players that have clashed with their managers after he was caught on camera telling Pep Guardiola 'shut up' during Man City's game with Real Madrid.
If Real Madrid are found to have breached the rules due to the substitution mix-up, they could be made to forfeit the three points from the fixture to Getafe, who will have the points added to their season total.
While Los Blancos will be affected by the deduction that will see them drop to third behind city rivals Atletico Madrid, they will still maintain a healthy lead in the race for the top four and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.
