WOLFSBURG - REAL MADRID

James caught laughing on the bench while Madrid were losing

While his team were losing 2-0 to Wolfsburg, it came as a suprise to see the Colombian giggling. Carvajal didn't see the funny side.

Update:
James caught laughing on the bench while Madrid were losing

James Rodríguez was involved in yet another incident which hasn't gone down well with the powers that be at Real Madrid. The Colombian was caught by Spanish sports programme Jugones' pitchside camera laughing while he and the other substitutes warmed up on the touchline at the Volkswagen-Arena while Madrid were losing their Champions League quarter final 2-0. The images were captured on minute 81. James is seen next to Dani Carvajal and the team's physical trainer, limbering up witjh some stretching exercises before entering the pitch. James, who is under fire for his indifferent performances this season, burst out laughing on seeing a pitch invader being chased by stadium security - in spite of the desperation his team mates were suffering to get back into the tie.

James' attitude is in contrast to that shown by Carvajal. The right-back, who was surprisingly left on the bench for the game, didn't see the funny side and appeared more concerned about how Madrid were faring against Wolfsburg. Three minutes later, on minute 84, James entered the field of play replacing Toni Kroos but made no impact during the final moments of the game.
