Villains

Seven red cards in La Liga this weekend, with three players (Nelson and Ricardo from Betis and Pavón from Numancia) all sent off after giving away penalties in the same match. One for the pub quiz there! Nelson's was a straight red and the other two were for second yellows, Pavón getting his within a few minutes of coming on as substitute. Osasuna's assistant manager was shown a red card for protesting, and the other three who got their marching orders, Jacobo (Getafe), Aitor (Recreativo) and Pires (Villarreal) were all sent off for second bookable offences.

Elsewhere Perea (Atlético Madrid) and Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) will both miss next weekend's games after they picked up their tenth yellow cards, and they will be joined in the stands by Oliveira (Betis), Verdú (Deportivo), Nunes (Mallorca), Jesús Vázquez and Adrián Colunga (both Recreativo) and Javi Venta (Villarreal), all of whom picked up their fifth.
