UEFA Adds Punishment for Real Madrid’s Captain Sergio Ramos

DBasia.news –  Real Madrid had a 2-1 aggregate goal over Ajax Amsterdam from the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League, which some time ago took place at Johan Cruyff Arena. From the fight, there is one interesting story.

In addition to the VAR controversy (video assistant referee) which annulled Nicolas Tagliafico’s goal, the yellow card obtained by a strong defender and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos also became a hot conversation.

He was judged to have deliberately received a yellow card when breaking Kasper Dolberg in the second round. The yellow card made him miss the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ramos claimed to do it intentionally so that there is bleaching in the next stage if Madrid qualify. In the interview session after the match, he said “It would be a lie if I said not to force it (violation)” and considered it a difficult decision.

Although then the 32-year-old player immediately clarified through his Twitter account, this did not necessarily make UEFA as the European Football Federation not conduct an investigation. Now reported by the BBC, Ramos was found guilty.

The sanctions to be taken are not taking part in two of his club’s Champions League matches. That means Ramos will miss the second leg against Ajax and in the first meeting if El Real advance to the quarter-finals.

This is detrimental to Santiago Solari’s squad, especially Madrid’s performance was also in a frenzy. Finally, they also had to bury their dreams of advancing to the Copa del Rey final after having to acknowledge the superiority of Barcelona with a 4-1 aggregate goal in front of their supporters.

Ramos’s absence also made Solari have to turn his mind to determine the composition of the players, but it seems that the Argentine manager has the chance to win Nacho Fernandez and Raphael Varane as central defenders.
