Toni Kroos celebrated a sad highlight in the LaLiga game between Real Madrid and FC Girona on Sunday: the midfield director saw his first red card of his career.

Sharing the points against FC Girona is disappointing enough for Real Madrid. To make matters worse, Toni Kroos saw the yellow-red card in injury time and will miss a game. The events in the final phase in Madrid rolled over. First Stuani equalized for Girona in the 80th minute, then a goal from Rodrygo in the 90th minute was ruled out by VAR. A minute later, Kroos saw his second yellow card and had to take an early shower. For the German, this means his first dismissal ever. After 15 years as a professional, that's extraordinary, especially since Kroos, as a central midfielder, has to fight a lot, including defensive duels. As annoying as this novelty is, it shows what an exceptional player Kroos is.
