La Liga 2017/18: Deportivo 0-3 Real Madrid, 5 Talking Points

#4 Sergio Ramos' nearly threw it all away, and then did

Deportivo La Coruna v Real Madrid - La Liga

If there is a weakness in this all-conquering Real Madrid side, it is their captain's tendency to get himself sent off. In the 53rd minute of the game, he should have been given his marching orders for shoving Fabian Schar in the face, but was lucky to escape with a yellow card.

It was 2-0 and Real Madrid were strolling to victory - Ramos jeopardized all of Madrid's good work with a foolish show of anger, which could have cost them against a Depor side roared on by the Riazor.

Predictably, Ramos got his marching orders in injury time when he elbowed Borja Valle in the face while challenging for an aerial ball. Let me emphasize that for you *Injury time* *The score was 3-0*

Needless, but at least he wrote himself into the record books.
