Villains

Four red cards this weekend, with Atlético's Godín getting his marching orders late on after catching Valencia's Joaquín with an elbow late in their game on Saturday evening, and Racing's Christian scoring early on against Sevilla but then getting himself sent off for a second bookable offence a few minutes before the break. And the following day it was the turn of Osasuna's Damià to see red, again after picking up a second yellow card near the end of the derby game at Real Sociedad. The red card which hit the headlines though was the one for Real Madrid's Iker Casillas just 90 seconds in to the match at Espanyol, the Spanish international keeper hardly working up a sweat before bringing down Callejón outside of the area. Elsewhere nine players completed the five yellow card cycle, including Barral (Sporting) and Ander (Zaragoza), who picked up their tenth bookings, and Michel Macedo (Almería), Mario Suárez (Atlético), Miguel Torres (Getafe), Javi Venta (Levante), and Maduro and Jordi Alba (both Valencia), who were shown their fifth.
