Sergio Ramos was shown a the 26th red card of his Real Madrid career as the Spanish side's defence dramatically imploded against Manchester City .
Despite taking the lead though Isco, Zinedine Zidane's side capitulated and conceded goals via a Gabriel Jesus headed and Kevin de Bruyne penalty after Raheem Sterling was brought down by Dani Carvajal.
