Barcelona losing at home wasn’t enough.There was more high drama at the top in store in the La Liga
Cristiano Ronaldo got a red card and marching orders as Real Madrid were held to a 1- 1 draw by Athletic Bilbao.It was a harsh decision on the part of the referee.It looks like he pulled the red card to try and get a hold of a situation where players were milling around,pushing and shoving each other and generally blaming everyone else.C Ron did not actually do anything that couldn’t have been fixed by a yellow card and a few words of caution.
Goals of the game.
So Real Madrid are now tied on points with Barcelona and Atletico Bilbao have sneaked ahead with a 4 -0 victory over Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid will acutely feel the loss of Ronaldo – who will possibly have to sit out 3 games.
