Ronaldo Sent Off For Diving

Cristiano Ronaldo scored and was then sent off as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 in a thrilling Spanish Super Cup first leg on Sunday night. An incident-packed second half at the Nou Camp saw Gerard Pique's own goal put Real ahead before Lionel Messi equalised from the penalty spot after Luis Suarez was fouled by Keylor Navas.

Ronaldo, on as a substitute, was booked for taking his shirt off to celebrate his spectacular strike three minutes later. That was followed swiftly by a second yellow card for diving following a challenge by Samuel Umtiti and an angry Ronaldo appeared to push referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea on his way off the field.

Marco Asensio wrapped up the victory for 10-man Real with a brilliant finish in the 90th minute, condemning new Barca boss Ernesto Valverde to defeat in his first competitive match at the Nou Camp.

The two sides will play the second leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday
