UEFA confirms Ramos has card-washing behavior

In the match at Johan Cruyff Arena, Real Madrid won 2-1 against the home team Ajax. In the upcoming rematch at Santiago Bernabeu (March 5), the reigning Champions League champions will not have the service of captain and center-back Sergio Ramos because he has received enough yellow cards.

After the match, Ramos himself implicitly confirmed that he deliberately avoided the card: "Looking at the result of the match, I would be lying if I said that I did not intend to receive a yellow card. I considered this issue, but that does not mean that I underestimate Ajax or Real Madrid who have won the ticket to the next round. Sometimes in football you have to make difficult decisions and I decided to do it."

UEFA immediately stepped in and quickly came to a conclusion about Ramos's behavior. However, UEFA only charged Ramos with receiving a yellow card on purpose. Tomorrow (February 28), the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee will handle this case before making a final conclusion.

According to the newspaperEvening Standard, MU is at risk of losing goalkeeper De Gea, despite their offer of 350 thousand pounds/week. MU is ready to make the 28-year-old Spanish goalkeeper the highest paid goalkeeper in the world, however after more than a year of negotiations, they have not been able to tie De Gea down.

Currently, Alexis Sanchez is the highest paid player at MU with a salary of 400 thousand pounds/week. If he agrees to sign the new contract offered by MU, De Gea will become the second highest paid player at Old Trafford.
