4 Times Cristiano Ronaldo Crossed The Line

#1 Red card in El-Clasico (2017)

Ronaldo was rightfully shown a red card after pushing the referee

In the 79th minute, Madrid launched a counter-attack from their own penalty area. Isco found Ronaldo who had run half the length of the field. The Portuguese cut inside to deceive Gerard Pique before rifling home a curled effort. He took off his shirt in celebration which earned him a booking.

He was on the bench at Nou Camp with the Real Madrid leading 1-0. In the 74th minute, Barcelona were awarded a dubious penalty after Luis Suarez was adjudged to have been brought down by Keylor Navas. Messi scored the resultant penalty.

Two minutes later, he received a through ball and was poised to score when Samuel Umtiti appeared to bring him down in the box.

However, the referee saw it as a dive and showed him a second yellow card. Clearly infuriated by the decision, Ronaldo shoved the referee on his back which is a major offence. He was suspended for five matches by the La Liga's Disciplinary Committee.
