And so, enduring a tough part of the season, Madrid's "Real" club suffered another blow - UEFA punished Sergio Ramos for not keeping his tongue behind his teeth. The defender earned a yellow card on purpose in the first UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Amsterdam's "Ajax." S. Ramos hoped to "cleanse" himself before the quarterfinals, if his team advanced. The UEFA disciplinary committee informed that Madrid's "Real" captain is given a two-match suspension for such behavior. He will have to miss not only the return leg matches, in which he wouldn't have played anyway, but also the first quarterfinal match if his team makes it through. S. Ramos could have avoided such punishment, as initially the foul did not raise any doubts. However, the Spaniard, in a thoughtless moment after the match, "confessed" to a journalist that he intended to earn a yellow card. The player later denied this information on social media, but the UEFA disciplinary committee was not convinced. In the first match, Madrid's team defeated "Ajax" with a score of 2:1. The return leg, which promises to be full of intrigue, will take place next Tuesday. Episode video:
