Sergio Ramos red card helps Sevilla set unwanted LaLiga record

Famed LaLiga hardman Sergio Ramos has received the first red card of his second stint in the league and played a part in causing boyhood club Sevilla to reach an unwanted milestone in the league.

The former Real Madrid and Spain captain re-joined Sevilla this summer after leaving Paris Saint Germain at the age of 37.

Given his advanced age, many would have assumed that Ramos had tamed his aggressive side, especially as the Spanish centre-back had yet to receive a red card since he re-joined Sevilla.

However, Ramos showed that he was still as ruthless and hot-headed as ever, getting his first red card of the campaign with a brutal tackle during Sevilla’s 2-1 loss against Real Sociedad.

In addition to Ramos’ red card, Sevilla captain Jesus Navas was also given his marching orders for protesting his colleague’s innocence with dissent.

The two red cards in one match helped Sevilla to an unwanted LaLiga record, as they became the side with the most double sending-offs in LaLiga this century.

Thanks to Ramos and Navas, Sevilla have now seen 17 pairs of players sent off in the same match, the most in the competition’s recent history.

The loss to Real Sociedad forced Sevilla to drop to a precarious 15th place in the LaLiga table after failing to win any of their last seven matches in the league.
