Paris Saint-Germain defender Sergio Ramos has also been a likely candidate to get the red card. And that happened again when Les Parisiens faced Reims in their Ligue 1 fixture on Saturday. And the team was visible, not happy with the decision.
Actually, the Spanish Defender got the second yellow card quickly just after getting the first yellow for dissent directed towards the referee. And the team, including the coach, Christophe Galtier looked in censure to the decision.
As Sergio Ramos got a red card against Reims, he’ll stay suspended for Paris Saint-Germain’s fixture against the second place Marseille. It’s Sergio Ramos’s second season in the Ligue 1, and it was going better for him than the last.
But the suspension will surely take a hit on his form although, he has enough experience of dealing with the Red card. Because with his red card against Reims, Ramos has now received 28 across his whole career in all senior competitions.
What do the players and the manager have to say about Sergio Ramos’ Red card against Reims?
Paris Saint-Germain player Nordi Mukiele thinks that the Red Card would have been avoided if they were a little more calmer at that time. And he also admitted that the Red card changed the match and it also affected the result.
“It’s football, it happens, it happened tonight against us. We could have stayed a little calmer. But you know, when you’re on the pitch, you can’t calm the tension, you’re in adrenaline.”
“I think the referee needs to handle the situation better,” said Danilo Pereira to Canal+. “There is no reason for that. It irritates us because we want to play football but like that, it’s complicated.“
Manager Christophe Galtier added: “I am not convinced that the insult [Ramos was sent off for] was even directed at the referee.”
And the match ended as a goalless draw for both sides. Neymar and Lionel Messi, both didn’t start the match for Christophe Galtier. Neymar came on the ground after the one-hour mark at the place of Carlos Solar. While Lionel Messi rested after suffering a knock against Benfica.
