Sergio Ramos tops our chart this week after his third red card in the league this season, this time for a second bookable offence against Mallorca on Saturday evening. The following day Almería were left with nine men by half time against Atlético after Pulido was sent off for giving away an early penalty and Juanito picked up two bookings. The visitors were hit for six in the end, and their physical trainer was also shown a red card for continuously protesting to referee Pérez Burrull.

Elsewhere Villarreal's Capdevila was also given his marching orders after picking up a second booking late on against Sevilla. Another seven players will miss next weekend's games after reaching the five yellow card threshold, including Moisés and Zabaleta (Espanyol), Berson (Levante), Diogo (Zaragoza) and Mejía (Murcia), all with ten cautions, and Iván Alonso (Murcia) and Godín (Villarreal) with five.

PS The disciplinary committee let Sergio Ramos off one of his yellow cards, but he still misses Real Madrid's next match as the other one was his tenth of the season. (10.04.08)
