Half an hour into the Champions League clash between Inter and Real Madrid, Arturo Vidal received a warning for trying to give out a penalty kick. The Chilean, however, vertically disagreed with the ruling, and had to complain to another yellow card seconds later, and then he was sent off the pitch and Inter subsequently lost the match 2-0.
However, the day after Inter's disappointing defeat, Vidal can rejoice a bit that he has joined a very exclusive club. With his red card against Real Madrid, the Chilean midfielder has now been sent off for three different clubs in the Champions League. He is one of only three to succeed in this. The other two members of this club are Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus, Inter and PSG) and Patrick Vieira (Arsenal, Inter and Juventus).
In total, Vidal has received 7 red cards throughout his career, with only one of them coming after a direct red card. After the defeat to Real Madrid, Vidal and Inter will find it very difficult to advance from the group stage in the Champions League.
