Ronaldo 8-0 Messi: Star's Red Card Record Soars


Ronaldo's sending off in Bilbao was the eighth of his playing career, whilst Leo Messi, his biggest rival, has none. He saw four red cards at Manchester United and has seen as many at Real Madrid. The last time he was sent for an early shower was during last season's Spanish Cup final, when he saw a straight red for lashing out at Gabi with his boot.

It looks likely that the Disciplinary Committee will suspend the Real Madrid forward for violent conduct. If that happens, Carlo Ancelotti can breathe easily as he'll only lose his star for one match, plus, it looks as though Gareth Bale will be fit to play.

If, as expected, the Disciplinary Committee does not give Cristiano Ronaldo more than a three-match ban, then he will take to the pitch for Wednesday's Spanish Cup derby at the Santiago Bernabéu, but will more than likely miss Real's next league game, at home to Villarreal.

"It's hard to say what happened. The footage shows that it was all a bit exaggerated," said Carlo Ancelotti at the final whistle, adding "I'm very pleased with Real Madrid's performance. It was a tough and intense game. It could have gone differently because we scored first, but they scored a wonder goal."
