So many red cards this week.
First we have Sevilla getting a red card versus Krasnodar at half-time but yet they still managed to put in two goals at the second half, and Krasnodar scored none in the second half.
Then we have a Rennes red card against Chelsea, who absolutely stomped them with a penalty goal and a third goal a few minutes later. Chelsea was already leading 1-0 at the time the red card was shown.
The last and most brutal match was Leipzig vs PSG where PSG got two red cards. Both cards were shown after all the goals of the match were scored, and the second one came at the very end of the match but this really prevented PSG from at least making a tie let alone a win. Not that Leipzig is particularly good or anything - after all, they did lose 5-0 to Man United a week ago.
Shaktar vs Monchengladbach looks unreal. baring the own goal Shaktar did, 3 of them were scored by Alassane Plea, and they're lucky to have a really good striker like him. (He was playing sticker in this match but I heard he also does winger sometimes).
2016-2017 20
2017-2018 19
2018-2019 20
2019-2020 33
2020-2021 already 7
How does that explain the 33 count for 2019-2020 though? Coronavirus came into football leagues late in the season so that couldn't have caused matches to get that many goals quickly, and I don't recall anything else abnormal happening in that season.
