Referee: Kimmich s yellow card was not cancelled, his protest was correct but he was too excited

Bayern player Kimmich received a yellow card for protests in the last round of the Bundesliga. Referee Bad Stubna said that although Kimmich's protest was correct, he was too excited, so there was no problem with the yellow card.

In the Bundesliga last weekend, Bayern beat Leipzig 6-0 at home. In the 66th minute of the game, Leipzig received a free kick in the backcourt. At that time, Leipzig defender Lukeba did not take the free kick, but chose to dribble the ball and sent a long pass, and then Noosa scored the ball.

Kimmich immediately rushed to the referee Bad Stubna to protest because Lukeba's direct dribbling when taking the free kick was illegal. Referee Bad Stubna showed a yellow card to Kimmich excitedly. After communicating with the VAR referee, the referee canceled Leipzig's goal, but Kimmich's yellow card was not cancelled.

referee Bad Stubna said: "Kimich came to me excitedly at that time and shouted at me. At first I didn't know what he was protesting. After that, he calmed down and said that the opponent's free kick was illegal, but he did not clearly say that Lukeba directly dribbled the ball."

referee Bad Stubna continued: "I asked the entire referee team whether the penalty was correct in this case, and then I heard them say 'no'." Then the referee came to the sideline to discuss with his assistant, and finally "canceled the goal for the benefit of football." However, Kimich's yellow card was not cancelled. Although his protest was correct, VAR would only interfere in canceling the yellow card that caused the penalty.

referee Bad Steubna stressed: "Yes, (Kimich's yellow card) is still there, otherwise the players can always protest to the referee, and if you protest is right, you can escape the yellow card. This is about mutual respect. If Kimimich could calm down and communicate with me at that time, then I think we can resolve this matter faster. We must maintain the image of football."

Kimich also admitted afterwards: "I may give myself a yellow card because I was a little too excited at the time. But I have never seen a free kick like this in the past."
