Midfielder Pedri received the first red card of his professional career during the final moments of a fiercely contested edition of El Clásico, which saw Real Madrid defeat FC Barcelona 2-1.
The high-stakes La Liga fixture, held at the Santiago Bernabéu, was defined by first-half goals. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 22nd minute, only for FermÃn López to equalise for Barcelona in the 38th minute.
However, Jude Bellingham restored the lead for Real Madrid just before halftime in the 43rd minute, securing the winning goal.
Pedri's dismissal came late in stoppage time when he was shown a second yellow card for a late foul on Aurélien Tchouaméni, leaving Barcelona with ten men as they ultimately failed to find a late equalizer. The incident contributed to a tense conclusion to the derby.
