Sergio Ramos passes Paul Scholes to officially become the dirtiest player in Champions League history after picking up booking against PSG

Sergio Ramos has obtained a notorious reputation in football for being a tough-tackling defender who loves a good foul... and now the statistics back it up.

The Real Madrid captain is now officially the dirtiest player in Champions League history, after racking up more cards than any other player.

Ramos was tied with Manchester United legend Paul Scholes on 36 total cards in the competition, but surpassed that mark on Tuesday evening after going into referee Felix Brych's book against PSG.
