Sergio Ramos jokes ‘I couldn’t leave this league without a red card’ after being sent off for booting rival in the bum
SERGIO RAMOS made light of a red card for Mexican side Monterrey after a 3-1 win at Pumas.
The former Real Madrid captain was seen kicking opponent Guillermo Martinez Ayala in the bum in stoppage time of the match.
And afterwards, Ramos took to X to make light of the situation.
He posted: “Very important win away from home against a difficult team. Time to rest and prepare what’s next.
“P.S.: It was obvious I couldn’t leave this league without a red card. +3 and onwards! ¡Arriba el Monterrey!”
Sergio Ramos was known for often bending the rules during his time in Spanish football.
The defender tended to be loved by his own fans and disliked by supporters of the opposition.
During the 2018 Champions League final against Liverpool, Ramos received no punishment for a challenge that saw Reds’ star man Mo Salah dislocate his shoulder.
And some claimed in the aftermath that injuring Salah had been an intentional move.
Following the victory, Monterrey sit in eighth position in the Liga MX, which would see them qualify for the play-offs and give them a chance of reaching the Final Series.

Ramos and co will face Inter Milan, River Plate and Urawa Reds in Group E of the competition.
