I know the rules well and I'm obviously not the only one who disagrees with the call. The announcers themselves are surprised by the call and make it pretty clear that they don't agree. He made minimal contact at best while going after the ball which was right there. Yellow card at best. You don't send him off in that situation in this type of game. We can agree to disagree, but claiming I know nothing about the sport because I think it's a bad call (or because I'm from the states) is ridiculous. I lived in Spain and watched Real with their 8th Champions league title. I'm an avid fan and I know the rules buddy.
