At a press conference before the Sevilla FC match against PSV – an important match for the qualification of RC Lens in the round of 16 of the Champions League – Sergio Ramos (37) returned to his first expulsion of the season suffered during the weekend -final against Real Sociedad after a dangerous tackle. The former Parisian central defender violently attacked Madrid referee Ortiz Arias and believes that his gesture did not deserve an expulsion.
“Referees can also make mistakes, just like us. But the referee the other day is a distant person who speaks with an arrogance that has no place as a referee, and we don’t like that. Referees must lead by example. The other day, more than one player commented on the fact that his words were inappropriate. We can make mistakes, but above all we must show respect. For me the red card was excessive, I think it should have been yellow. It is normal for the club to appeal.released the central defender of the Sevillian club.
