Real Madrid star Ronaldo apologises after red card SHOCKER
By Frank Henriksen
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has apologised for his dismissal in victory at Cordoba.
The two-time reigning world player of the year was shown a straight red card in the 84th minute for kicking out at Cordoba defender Edimar.
Ronaldo could have been dismissed minutes earlier after punching defender Ivan Crespo only for the incident to go unnoticed by referee Alejandro Hernandez.
Later, he tweeted: "I apologise to everyone and especially to Edimar for my thoughtless act in today's game."
