Ramos getting a red for stopping City scoring a third.
Legend![]()
Sterling was already horizontal when Carvajal came in with the challenge. The whole 'but there would have been contact anyway' argument has never sat well with me. A dive is a dive. And Sterling is a prodigious diver.
The first goal was dreadful.6 defenders went for De what's his face,yet he turned left and crossed.Goal! With Ramos the wrong side of the scorer!
Perhaps it's time for Real to buy the rest of World Football!!!?
Funny thing. Real were winning until they brought Gareth Bale on. Just saying!
Jesus too, Ramos barely touches the arm yet Jesus tumbled like a bitch. Could turn out to be a ‘smart’ red by Ramos though as 3-1 would’ve killed off the tie. 2-1 at least gives a bit of hope of a turnaround, even if unlikely.
Yeah Ramos has done that umpteen times in his career. He is 100% Real first, Sergio second. He knew exactly what he was doing, Jesus knew exactly what was coming and waited for the hand on the back to begin his long jump. I think added theatrics were probably because he wanted to con the officials into giving a penalty. Whereas Sterling was mid-air before Carvajal was born.

This is a part of the dark arts I was alluding too on Spurf’s thread the other day and why I said he’s one of my favourite players. Some will find it unsavoury but he’s putting the team’s best interests above his own personal glory and reputation.
Not all of his 26 reds and countless yellows have been for those exact reasons but the guy just “gets it” when it comes to trying to win a game/ not lose a game by doing whatever it takes.
I wonder how much Real pay Ramos?
I found Michael Dawson was always Spurs first, Daws second. And he did that all the while being an exemplary professional and gentleman. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
