Sergio Ramos scores panenka penalty, gets booked for kicking keeper then shushes crowd as fans say ‘100% on brand’
SERGIO RAMOS produced a “100 per cent on brand” moment as Sevilla crashed out of Europe.
The Spanish side were knocked out of the Champions League in their final group match against Lens on Tuesday night.
Their exit was not without incident, though, with Ramos at the centre of the action at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Ramos scored a panenka penalty before being booked for kicking Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba.
He then completed the moment of madness by shushing the crowd and cupping his ear as he jogged back to his own half.
Samba had initially denied Ramos from 12 yards, only for a retake to be ordered due to the keeper stepping off his line.
After Ramos chipped the ball into the roof off the net, the pair clashed as the veteran defender scrambled to grab the ball.
With Samba rolling around on the floor, referee Felix Zwayer was left with no choice but to show Ramos the 250th yellow card of his club career.
Reacting to the Spaniard’s antics on social media, one fan wrote: “That was 100% on brand.”
Another joked: “Violence is his trademark.”

A third supporter also added: “What a man.”
Meanwhile, one more simply commented a goat emoji underneath a clip of the incident.
Ramos’ goal, which pulled Sevilla level and broke a Champions League record for most goals by a defender with 17, was not enough to see them into the Europa League in third place.
His side had needed to win to secure a place in the play-off round and avoid an early European exit.
However, with Sevilla pushing forward in search of a winner, Lens scored in the 96th minute through Angelo Fulgini to condemn their opponents to last place.
The result means Sevilla will be not play in Europe after Christmas for the first time in 11 years.
