Exciting last 10 here. Lopez has been keeping Real in it. Real have just stopped playing since they scored their second.

Roy Keane is an absolute idiot. Did he seriously think that was a red? I cannot stand that man

Common sense says yellow for me. Eyes on the ball. Rafael did handle on the line though, albeit once Nani was off. Entertaining anyway. Their 'fans' on facebook are hilarious.

No problem with the red card, completely justified.

It was a foul. There is a case for it being a yellow card.

It did not meet the criteria for a red card. Madness.

I can't see it myself I'm afraid. I totally understand his foot was raised but there was no way that was intentional. Common sense should prevail in situations like this

nah

To be honest, I think it's partly because Roy Keane says it was a red that I don't think it was. I despise that man. Terrible manager and horrible man

The red card was similar to those given to Carlton Cole and Darron Gibson in a West Ham v Everton game earlier in the season. Both were rescinded.

I thought it was a poor card in all honesty, but we made mistakes after it anyway. We went too much into our shell and the manager was far too slow to change a system that was really not working. If he made the Rooney sub 10 mins earlier it would have been much more useful, although I'm still not sure that we would have held on.

It sort of sucks that the ref in the first leg bottled a clear red card for Varane and yet the ref tonight called an at best borderline red in such a huge game, it's hard not to feel a little cheated but them's the breaks. It's important to make sure the team don't lose focus on the league after this.

In real time I defy any of you to get that decision right.

Looked like he Jackie Chan'd the poor bugger.

And who cares? It's justice for all the insufferable plastics I've had to endure for years and years!

nah

Based on what is in the laws of the game, what makes you think that was a sending off?

Dangerous play.

Whether it was dangerous enough for a red and whether it was intentional are the point, but it's not hard to work out it will have been given for dangerous play...

Sticking to the complete exact letter of the law you could justify a red card. Anyone who watched it, understands anything about football, has any common sense or any brain cells at all would realise it wasn't. Which is probably why purpleronnie thinks it was.

Dangerous play is only a red card if excessive force is used.
