I'll be honest, for me it was an undeserved red card, so was the 3 matches suspension. He might be a prick most of times and of course it will benefit us and Atlético, but let's be fair, a yellow would be enough.
Well, I watched the video in ESPN website and couldn't see he had offended the referee as well, that along with the slap seems to me to deserve a red card. I stand corrected.
He did deserve the card. He clearly scratched the face of an opponent, that was expulsion worthy. Then there is the other aggression not seen by the referee, that was expulsion worthy as well.
Then he got further ban for the gesture directed at the referee which was also deserved and could have been longer. Valdes got a 4 match ban after the Clasico for calling the ref an SOB, it is only just that Ronaldo get a similar ban for doing pretty much the same thing.
