Real Madrid captain Ramos still bristling over red card: Look to English football

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is bristling over his red card in victory at Deportivo La Coruna.

It was a sour note to end on, after Los Blancos had completely dominated their hosts.

"I do not agree with the card but I respect the opinion of the referee," Ramos said to reporters after the game.

"Sometimes officials should look at English football and let us play more.

"I like their system because in Europe, referees are more lenient."

On Radio MARCA he was asked if he should've been sent off before he actually was, after raising his hands to one of his opponents.

"I was cornered," he continued.

"I hit Schar in the head but I didn't intend to hurt him."

Finally, Ramos noted how other teams don't like it when Madrid keep winning.

"When you win many titles the rivals are full of antipathy towards you," he concluded.
