Barcelona were comfortably winning 3-0 against Ferencvaros, when in the 70th minute Gerard Piqué saw a straight red card for a grab on Nguen, being the last man. Penalty and sending off. A penalty that Kharatin converted.

Piqué had no choice but to grab Nguen. The Ferencvaros number 10 was one on one with Neto in the box, and Piqué pulled him down. Clear grab, foul, and penalty.

Perhaps he thought that referee would only show a yellow, but he was mistaken. Only if the goalkeeper is the last man is the punishment cushioned. The so-called 'triple punishment.'
