Everybody was on good behaviour on the opening day of the season, with not one red card throughout the weekend. The same was true as well for the Spanish Supercup which normally produces a sending off or two over the two legs, and it looks like the trend seen last season is continuing. A few players had to sit out the opening match of the new campaign after picking up suspensions at the end of last season, including Real Madrid's new signing Pablo García, who got sent off in the cup final playing for Osasuna. Last year's top villain misses one league game and also the first match in the cup after also picking up a fifth yellow card in that competition. (30.08.05)
