Sergio Ramos picked up his 26th Real Madrid red card in 638 appearances as Manchester City left the Bernabeu with a Champions League last-16 first-leg win.
The Spaniard has the most red cards of any player in La Liga history and the joint-most in the Champions League alongside Edgar Davids, after being adjudged to have brought down Gabriel Jesus as the last man in Wednesday's 2-1 home defeat.
Manager Zinedine Zidane did not complain about the referee's decision to show Ramos a straight red card but team-mate Vinicius Junior defended his skipper after the game. Ramos, meanwhile, has made no comment on the incident and instead tweeted to look forward to this weekend's El Clasico with Barcelona.
