Nabil Fekir goes from showboating to red card inside 10 seconds vs Athletic Bilbao
Nabil Fekir went from showboating to being sent off inside 10 crazy seconds during Sunday’s La Liga clash between Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao.
Betis were leading 1-0 with 10 minutes remaining, thanks to Borja Iglesias’s first-half goal, when Fekir began to showboat.
The French playmaker did a few kick-ups, much to the delight of the home supporters inside the Estadio Benito Villamarin, before being fouled by Oscar de Marcos.
As Fekir went to ground in pain, Athletic winger Iker Muniain went over to the France international and has been accused of picking his opponent’s beard.
Fekir reacted by violently kicking out at Muniain and referee Antonio Mateu was left with no option but to show the Betis No. 8 a straight red card.
Watch the bizarre passage of play here:
Jongles, coup dans le genou, insultes, balayette, expulsion. Welcome to the City Stade of Villeurbanne #Fekir
