At the age of just 27, Sergio Ramos' 19th career red card last night earned him a new record that most of the players will be looking to avoid. He surpassed Xavier Aguado and Pablo Alfaro who equally had the same number of red card (18) prior to this match. Ramos also has 180 yellows to his name, something he wouldn't be proud of.
