Ronaldo received a straight red card in the match between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid, a match which finished 1-1.
Jese put Real ahead on his first full debut but their lead only lasted seven minutes, Ibai Gomez slotting the ball home with his first touch of the match in the 73rd minute.
Ronaldo received his marching orders when Bilbao’s Carlos Gurpegi hit the floor in Oscar-winning style after the Portuguese gently wafted his hands in the face of the defender. Very little contact was made but enough for the referee to reach for the red card.
