With first-choice right-back Dani Carvajal rested for the crunch Champions League clash against Galatasaray in midweek, Zinedine Zidane turned to Spanish international Alvaro Odriozola to man the right flank of defence.

The 46-year-old was however left to rue this decision, as the former Real Sociedad man put in a display that was unbefitting a Real Madrid player.

After receiving a yellow card for a foul in the 19th minute, Odriozola was left to walk on thin ice for the rest of the fixture, but in rather inexplicable scenes, he decided to lunge in with a flying tackle on Ante Budimir in the 74th minute when there was next to no chance of him winning the ball.

This left centre referee Javier Alberola Rojas with no option but to issue a second yellow to the 23-year-old, thereby reducing Real Madrid to 10 men for the final 15 minutes of the game.

An already difficult job was made much harder by Odriozola's moment of madness and pictures of him standing desolately in the tunnel served as enough proof of how grande his error was.
