SERGIO RAMOS picked up his first Paris Saint-Germain red card on just his THIRD match for the French side.
The Spanish centre-back, 35, was only brought on by Mauricio Pochettino at half-time for the Ligue 1 clash away at Lorient.

And the Real Madrid legend lasted 41 minutes after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession.
His second yellow card saw him body-check Terem Igobor Moffi who had got the better of Ramos after knocking the ball past him.
Ramos attempted to feign injury as he hit the deck, but the referee wasn’t falling for his tricks, and duly brandished the veteran the 27th red card of his career.
Thankfully for the defender, Mauro Icardi spared his blushes as he scored an injury time equaliser after Lorient broke the deadlock in the 40th minute.
The result leaves Les Parisiens, who have now won just one out of their last four top-flight games, 13 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
Ramos’ red card proved to be the talking point amongst fans on social media, who was appearing for just the third time.
