Yannick Carrasco has been one of the key players at Atletico Madrid this season, but he let his side down against Porto by picking up a stupid red card after a scuffle.
At the European Football Association they can not laugh about it. Carrasco’s scuffle carries a price tag of 3 days of suspension.
A bitter pill for Atletico and his coach Diego Simeone. He could use a European success, because in the competition it is currently running squarely for the champion. Atletico are lucky enough to hit a side with Manchester United that is still not running at full capacity, although a lot can still happen in a month.
