There’s a fine line between gamesmanship and scumbaggery and it can be argued that Sergio Ramos and Pepe tread that line like the thinnest of tightropes.
Dietmar Hamann was left disgusted by the “disgraceful” antics of the pair of Real Madrid defenders last night.
The former Liverpool player is not a fan of play-acting and fight-starting on the football pitch, two activities of which both Ramos and Pepe have been found guilty in the past.
It looked like Ramos exaggerated the contact from Arda Turan in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie with Atletico Madrid which got the Atletico player a second yellow card and Didi had some damning criticism of the shenanigans saying: “This is not worthy of a Real Madrid player.”

Meanwhile these are some examples of Pepe’s high-jinks on the pitch.
