Hmm, disappointing game. I expected Real to go on an win before the decision but that killed it.
I thought it was harsh but acceptable to begin with but the more I think about it the less I agree.
He's being sent off for serious foul play, which is not about the foul, its about endangering the opponent with your play. Much like a two footed lunge, its not just dependant on the contact, its about the danger your player has attached to it. Where does that leave bicycle kicks? What about any kind of high foot, its all dangerous.
Masterful by Jose though, handled that brilliantly as always.
