Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos was ecstatic after the 2-1 Clasico win over Barcelona on Saturday, telling reporters he would have gotten sent off sooner if he had known it would lead to the win. Meanwhile, Gareth Bale hopes the loss will knock the Catalans' confidence.
Ramos was sent off late during Saturday's match for a second bookable offence, and the defender had barely left the pitch when Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal. As reported by Football Espana (h/t Eurosport UK), he couldn't help but laugh at how things played out:
[This win] is a way of regaining confidence, a prize.
