A Sergio Ramos red card
Most footballers come to play the game with the ambition to be a great player, someone who etches his name to the team’s history. However, for Sergio Ramos, the case is different. While the latter part about being a part of the club’s past stays in its purest form, how to get there depends completely on the player.
In Sergio Ramos’ case, he was born to get red cards for Real Madrid. Currently, he holds the record for the most red cards received by a Real Madrid player ever—something that he probably brags about to his friends.
In a world where violence is prevalent, Sergio Ramos sets an example on how to be as calm as a Shaolin monk by showing us what not to do.
There is no denying, however, that on his day, he is the best defender in the world, but those days come more rarely than a Daniel Day Lewis movie. What we get is a Ramos whose blood is pumping to see red. Against Barca, in a clash which is of high octane, there is a good chance that he would want to see his Christmas card early and hence, make a rash tackle or do something inscrutably stupid to send himself off.
