Late headers and red cards; Sergio Ramos is prolific when it comes to both.
In Sunday's edition of El Clasico, it was, unfortunately for Real Madrid, the Spaniard's propensity to get sent off that came to the fore.
With Madrid trailing 2-1 in the 77th minute, the photogenic central defender was shown a red card for a ridiculous, lunging two-footed tackle on Lionel Messi in midfield.
Watching the defender trudge down the tunnel toward an early shower has been a common sight throughout his career in the Spanish capital:
That's the 22nd red card of Sergio Ramos ' career with Real Madrid. #ElClasico
