Seven red cards in six years at Camp Nou for Atletico Madrid LaLiga Costa sent off for abusive language

Atletico Madrid went to the Camp Nou looking to keep the LaLiga Santander title race alive.

Diego Costa left the pitch in the 29th minute, given a straight red by Gil Manzano for abusive language, and the Rojiblancos left the stadium after the game with nothing.

This isn't the first time Atletico have finished a match at the Camp Nou with fewer players and Diego Simeone's men left feeling aggrieved once again.

"Something always happens at the Camp Nou," said Koke.

"They sent off [Fernando] Torres here, they sent off Torres... an icon," said Simeone.

"From then on, anyone can get sent off for us."

Seven Atletico players have been given their marching orders at the Camp Nou since 2013.

Yannick Carrasco - Copa del Rey semi-final 2017

The Belgian winger was given his second yellow card in the 69th minute of this cup semi-final having received the first in the first half. Gil Manzano was the official dishing out the cards as Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez also saw red.

Fernando Torres - Champions League quater-final 2016

Two bookings in the space of six minutes saw the Rojiblanco legend sent off after netting the opener for the visitors. Suarez's double won the game for Barcelona, but Atletico were victorious on aggregate after a 2-0 win in the return leg at the Vicente Calderon.

Filipe Luis and Diego Godin - LaLiga 2016

A horror challenge on Lionel Messi earned Filipe Luis a straight red in the 44th minute before Diego Godin joined his teammate in the dressing room having received two yellow cards.

Barcelona ran out 2-1 winners on the day.

Filipe Luis, Arda Turan and Oscar Ortega - Supercopa de Espana 2013

Filipe saw red in the 80th minute, Turan was sent off just 17 minutes after coming on in the 88th minute and Atletico coach Ortega was also sent to the stands.

The Supercopa went Barcelona's way thanks to an aggregate win on away goals.
