Which superstar can "boast" a richer collection of red cards?
Last weekend, in the recently concluded "Copa America" tournament, a rare event occurred - Argentine national team forward Lionel Messi received a red card, marking only his second such penalty in his entire career.
Football fans have started to debate which football superstar - Cristiano Ronaldo or L. Messi - has accumulated more red cards. By looking at the statistics, it is not difficult to answer this question.
The leader of the Portuguese national team and Juventus can "brag" about as many as 11 red cards, significantly surpassing the "Barcelona" representative.
