Sergio Ramos might have been sent off for the first time in Liga MX at the weekend, but the center back has a history of seeing red throughout his career.

Ramos developed a reputation over the years as a player who is unafraid to enter the referee's book. He has been known to overstep the boundaries of aggressive and physical defending, though, with tackles and heated moments that send him off the pitch.

Since joining Liga MX's Monterrey in February, the center back has made all types of headlines, mainly for his recent goalscoring; Ramos already has three goals to his name in just five appearances for the club.

However, he most recently stole the spotlight with another red card to add to his resume.
