Andriy sent some pics so I may add to this humorous affair!
Things to note: he came off to a standing ovation.
That ref...does that ref look familiar to you?
OHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH!
In an early example of the Serzil phenomenon, he was carded and then Mesut was carded a minute later for applauding the decision...
Official reason for being sent off: "Applauded sarcastically, near my person..."
So Mesut applauded one more time before telling the crowd to "SHUT UP!" ("Callate!") after shushing them.
And it was an early bath and goodnight!
Kaka was so distraught, he was sucking his thumb. Mourinho had already been sent off. So had Rui Faria. Before the end, Pepe would be red-carded too for casting aspersions on the referee's mother's marital status.
World-wide, there was a bromantic trending topic:
And the official twitter feed was hilarious:
Fond memories! That game saw Mesut's most beautiful assist last year.
For those who want a trip down memory lane, I made a match report two days after the event! Crispy Ronaldo broke a record in that game too!
