Mario Mandzukic's Face Bloodied from Sergio Ramos Elbow
By Mike Cardillo
Rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are playing Tuesday in the Champions League quarterfinals. In the second half Sergio Ramos — one of the game’s consistently dirtiest players — jumped up to win a ball against Atleti striker Mario Mandzukic. Although it didn’t look especially vicious, Mandzukic came away from the challenge looking like Ric Flair and or Dusty Rhodes circa 1983.

The Croatian strike left the field for treatment since he was “leaking blood” per the commentary of Marin Tyler.
Adding insult to injury, Mandzukic received a yellow card for complaining.
UPDATE — It got worst for Mandzukic, as seen in this altercation with Dani Carvajal.
