Ranking all 26 of sergio ramoss red cards for ridiculousness
What a delightful task! Sergio Ramos has indeed accumulated a impressive collection of red cards throughout his career. Here's my attempt to rank the 26 red cards he's received for ridiculousness, from mildly amusing to utterly absurd:
Honorable Mentions (not included in the ranking):
