Handy booking! Ramos yellow means he misses Real’s clash with Levante but returns for El Clasico

Sergio Ramos will definitely be free to face Barcelona on March 2 after picking up another very convenient booking.

Ramos went into Sunday’s match with Girona on four La Liga bookings, knowing that a fifth would activate a one-match ban. Real play Levante next weekend, with the following game against fierce rivals Barcelona. 

The defender was booked in the 64th minute against Girona for handball in a goalmouth scramble.

But unlike his booking against Ajax in the Champions League in midweek, Ramos’s yellow wasn’t completely harmless to his side. 

Girona scored the resulting penalty to level the scores at 1-1 and then moved 2-1 ahead in the 75th minute.
