"Sergio Ramos should not have had red card" - Iturralde

For our resident referee, consistency in decision making was missing with two key moments involving the Madrid captain and Gabriel Jesús.

Sergio Ramos saw a straight red card for what was deemed a professional foul on Gabriel Jesus in the closing stages of the Champions League first leg. But it wasn't a clear cut decision according to our former referee.

"For me it is not necessary. Gabriel Jesús was looking for it and fell over. If City's first goal is not a foul [when Jesús nudges Ramos before scoring] then neither is this one."

After the match, Vinicius Jr gave his view.

"Everyone knows that Gabriel Jesus fouled Ramos. The decisions always go against us."

Real Madrid lost 1-2 in the Santiago Bernabéu and head to Manchester for the second leg on Tuesday 17 March...without their captain.
