Porto embarrassment: two red cards and a big brawl between the benches!

Porto-Atletico Madrid's second half was a heated affair that reflected the stakes between the two sides as they looked to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Ten minutes after Griezmann's goal, which put the Madrid giants momentarily into the next round, the mess began. Yannick Carrasco was sent off after a hard tackle on Otavio.

The player blatantly grabbed his opponent and reacted disproportionately after his gesture. He had to leave early for the dressing room, but he was not the only one in the match.

Just four minutes later, in the 71st minute, Wendell also saw red after putting his arm around Matheus Cunha's neck. This sending off raised the temperature even higher and sparked a further brawl between the Portuguese and Spanish.
