That's why he's given it red.
Yeah, he's deemed it as there's been no attempt whatsoever to play the ball, when I think there was.
Yeah, he'd seen it, but he didn't see it.
But it's a pretty clumsy effort to try and do it.
I don't think it was one of those challenges where we see it quite often, where a player makes absolutely zero attempt to play the ball.
Most of the time, it's just tripping an opponent up.
What we do know...
is there'll be an appeal.
Oh, I think there will be.
I think that's the only thing that we can actually hang our hat on in this one, is that Real Madrid will appeal that, and if it doesn't get overturned, we'll probably have another story to talk about for another week.
Luis, did you want to add something?
We'll be hearing from Maka and Ian in a moment.
Before we do so, let's take you through what happened in the Barcelona tie that happened, obviously, of course, earlier today.
And Andres Iniesta in attendance for this one.
And glad he got there early because there was an early chance here for Rio.
And it's Joan Garcia who had to make a big save.
Yeah, again that horrendous line and Juan Garcia comes up big time here.
That should be going in the back of the net, he makes himself big but it's a poor attempt.
Big chance here for Rafinha, he does it all himself, wins the ball and then you'd expect him to score from here.
Yeah, overplaying out of the back I think.
