Barcelona keeper Pinto sent-off at halftime for sparking Real Madrid ruck

Barcelona substitute goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto was sent off at halftime of last night's Champions League win at Real Madrid.

The first-half ended in a brawl between the two sets of players, which was sparked by Seydou Keita and Alvaro Arbeloa.

Marca says, in front of ref Wolfgang Stark, Pinto slapped Arbeloa and also manhandled Real chief Chendo - and was shown a red card for his actions.

Barca ran out 2-0 winners last night.
