'It was for my nephew, but referee misunderstood' - Ramos on his yellow card

  /  autty

There was a sense of bewilderment in the aftermath of Sergio Ramos' penalty during Spain's 2-1 victory over Romania as the centre-back was shown a yellow card.

Referee Deniz Aytekin booked the Spain captain after he celebrated by making a gesture in which he mimicked wearing glasses towards a TV camera.

"They yellow card came from some confusion," Ramos said after the match.

"It was for my nephew."

"We both wear glasses and it was for him."

"The referee thought I was gesturing to the stands."
