Ex-City midfielder Gary Medel was sent off on Saturday after getting two yellow cards in the space of a few seconds during Bologna's 1-1 draw with Juventus.
The 34 year-old Chilean was upset by a red card that was dished out to a team-mate following a VAR check, but the referee was even more upset with Medel's protestations.

Ridiculous sending’s off.
Can't remember Medel losing it much when he was playing for us, probably because it was no more than a pay cheque for him - his performances certainly fell away in the second half of the season.
I guess it depends what Medel actually said. He's been playing in Italy for a few years, so maybe he's brushed up on his Italian insults.
I saw a BT Sport clip on Facebook that showed the foul and the first red card in detail - the ref didn't initially give a foul as he though the player had got the ball, but he hadn't - he went right through the Juventus player and he was the last man, so a red card was fair enough. The weird thing was he gave a free-kick on the edge of the area when it looked a clear penalty.
