Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal just 20 minutes after he entered the field, and he got sent off after getting two yellow cards in a substitute appearance during the Spanish Supercopa match on Sunday.

The only goal for Barca was scored by their star player, Lionel Messi, and it made plenty of scoring opportunities. However, there was also a visible struggle to apply a finishing touch to them, even though they were in front of their home fans.

Both Real and Barca went scoreless in the first half. Ronaldo’s team came close to scoring the first goal with a shot by Gareth Bale, but it went over the bar after a tip by Marc-Andre ter Stegen. But, all this changed with Gerard Pique putting the ball into his own net in the 50th minute, thus giving Real Madrid a 1–0 lead.

Messi helped to even the score, but just moments later, the game went out of their hands when Ronaldo got introduced. The action was taken to involve the Portuguese, as he came back at Pique after Messi’s goal, there was a shuffling by the defender and a world-class shot was buried into the upper 90 giving Real Madrid the lead.

Ronaldo took off his shirt off in that celebration and received a yellow card, and then received another yellow card minutes later for diving. Thus Real Madrid came down to 10 men, and Ronaldo was out of the match.
