'Ronaldo red one of the most ridiculous sendings off ever' - Shock as CR7 sent off on Juventus Champions League debut

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off on his Champions League debut for Juventus on Wednesday in what can only be termed a questionable decision.

Having taken issue with a Valencia defender, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United started reached down and touched Jeison Murillo on the head, urging the defender back to his feet after a percieved dive.

The straight red means that, barring an overturn of the mandatory bad, Ronaldo will miss out on both group-stage clashes with Manchester United and left the 33-year-old in tears.

Needless to say, the football world was quick to react, with some poking fun at Ronaldo while others were understandably upset with the call.
