Real Madrid beat Cordoba 2-1 despite being reduced to 10 men when Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in the 82nd minute after having a casually insane meltdown. Here’s how it played out…
First, Ronaldo hit a Cordoba player in the face and got away with it.
This punch from Ronaldo came before red card. Wasnt noticed by ref. But @DFSanchidrianAS got the vine: https://t.co/y2TP5sdbPJ

Then he kicked a different Cordoba player in the back of the legs and got sent off for it.
C.Ronaldo might be Balon D’Or but won’t ever be the worlds best footballer behaving like this #Shameful & shocking https://t.co/ZxrPGpE3Wt — Angus Macnab (@angus_macnab) January 24, 2015
He acted like he wasn’t bothered by this.
At all.
Ronaldo reacted to his red card by stroking his badge https://t.co/kVojf3MYfL

And that’s how you play it cool after completely losing yours. Cristiano did still apologize to Edimar, the player he kicked, via Twitter after the match, though. “I apologize to all and especially Edimar for my reckless act in the match today,” he wrote.
Pido disculpas a todos y especialmente a Edimar por mi acto irreflexivo en el partido de hoy.

Whatever, nobody’s gonna remember this next week.
Goddamn. As a Madridista, it was shameful and tacky AF and even I cannot condone this. Not to mention he could be banned for +2 matches because of this when we’re facing Sevilla and Patetico. The badge-rubbing was the tackiest tho, because no1curr about CWC and he should’ve known better.
Haha “patetico.” Thats the kind of thing Brooks would say
