Real Madrid's visit to the Czech Republic saw Los Blancos scoring four goals in the first half of the game against Viktoria Plzen, but things could have gone sideways if the ref had spotted a blatant foul by Sergio Ramos.
Minutes before the current UEFA Champions League holders scored the opening goal against the Czech side, Spanish center back Sergio Ramos escaped a red card after throwing an elbow to Milan Havel's face. While at first glance the incident seemed as an accident, the aftermath had fans asking Ramos to be sent off.

Only one explanation for Sergio Ramos in football; as a your lad he badly wanted to become a boxer but some bad neighbour directed him to a football pitch. Now we can play in peace.
