Real Madrid to appeal Sergio Ramos red

Real Madrid will reportedly appeal the red card handed to Sergio Ramos during Sunday's 4-3 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico.

The Spanish centre-back was dismissed in the second period of the La Liga clash after seemingly fouling Neymar inside the penalty area, with Lionel Messi converting the resulting spot kick.

However, according to AS, Madrid will contest the red card, insisting that Ramos did not make contact before the Brazilian forward fell to the ground.

As it stands, Ramos will miss Wednesday's trip to Sevilla.
