It will be a memorable 100th Champions League appearance for all the wrong reasons for Xabi Alonso.
Following a first half yellow card, the Bayern Munich midfielder saw red 20 minutes into the second half when he got tangled up with Shakhtar Donetsk's Taison.
It was a harsh decision from the match official as Alonso's challenge didn't appear to be malicious.
