SERGI ROBERTO saw red in El Clasico on Sunday night, and was given his marching orders.
The Spanish star was shown a red card in the closing minutes of the first half of Barcelona’s clash with Real Madrid at the Nou Camp.
Roberto was involved in a nothing collision with Marcelo off the ball and hit out at the Brazilian defender.
The flailing arm hit Marcelo on his shoulder and Twitter users were quick to call it a punch.
