Ramos gave away the penalty from which Girona equalised by appearing to block a goal-bound shot in the area, escaping a potential straight red card but still earning a booking. The dismissal also completed a troublesome week for Ramos, who is the subject of a UEFA investigation after appearing to admit that he had received a yellow card in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg at Ajax Amsterdam on purpose. Ramos denies the accusation, but if he is found guilty of intentionally earning a yellow card he would be suspended from the first leg of a potential quarter-final tie if Real progress. The Spain defender has played 601 games for Real since joining from Sevilla in 2005 for 27 million euros ($30.49 million), earning four red cards in his first season with the club, including two in his first month. However, he has never been sent off in 161 appearances for the Spanish national team.
