Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos blames Sergio Busquets for being sent off the field.

According to the defender, the midfielder, with whom he plays together for the Spanish national team, contributed to his expulsion by simulation.

"I am happy that the club will appeal against the second yellow card. Although someone was rolling on the grass, I did not touch him," he said, referring to Busquets.

Meanwhile, another Real defender, Pepe, insisted that the Madrid team clearly outperformed their opponents in the second leg of the quarter-finals.

"We showed true Madrid character," the Portuguese said. "Today, we were far stronger than Barcelona. We are proud of what we have achieved."

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, but "Barcelona" advanced to the next stage with an overall score of 4-3 due to their victory.
