Ghana international, Kevin Prince Boateng has expressed his shock after Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off on Wednesday in Juventus clash Champions League clash with Valencia.
The five time Ballon d'Or winner appeared to grab Valencia defender Jeison Murillo’s hair as they tangled off the ball midway through the first half and was shown a straight red card after referee Felix Brych consulted his assistant behind the goal.
Despite his dismissal, the Serie A champions won the Group H opener 2-0 thanks to a pair of Miralem Pjanic penalties either side of half-time with Valencia seeing a late penalty by Daniel Parejo saved to cap a poor night for the Spanish side.
Ronaldo will miss the next game in the competition against Young Boys and could also be sidelined for both key matches against his old club Manchester United depending on how UEFA views the sending off and his dissent towards the referee.
But the former Las Palmas star was shocked to see the Portuguese superstar being sent off.
Red card for what??? #watcheditmoretimes hmmm ??
