Ramos, Davids, Zlatan, Totti: The XI with the most red cards in football history

Sergio Ramos picked up the 28th red card of his career on Saturday night as Paris Saint-Germain drew 0-0 with Reims.

Ramos gave away a free-kick and was shown a yellow card by the referee for protesting. Seconds later, he was brandished a red card for presumably something he said.

Alexis played for the likes of Malaga, Getafe, Valencia, Sevilla and Alaves amongst others during his career.

Montero had that Uruguayan fighting spirit – although perhaps a bit too much – with 21 red cards in his career. The former Juventus defender holds the record for the most red cards in Serie A history and in 2007, The Times placed him at number 39 in their list of the 50
