Chelsea boss passes comment on Real Madrid 'sendings-off'

Carlo Ancelotti gave his view on the controversy surrounding former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who watched two of his Real Madrid players, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, apparently get themselves sent off for time-wasting in the Champions League against Ajax to ensure they could serve suspensions and be free of disciplinary problems for the start of the knockout stages. Ancelotti said: "It was a strange thing to see the player take a yellow card with this reason. UEFA have to take a decision now. I don't want to judge the behaviour of the Real Madrid players but for fair play, it's not a good thing.

"But, a lot of times, this happens. Maybe UEFA need to put a precise rule into operation about this. There is not a precise rule at the moment. At the end of the group, it would be better to have an amnesty and take out the cards."
