3 Penalty Kicks and 1 Own Goal in the 7-2 loss at Barcelona
In 6 matches we've seen 5 Penalty Kicks, 2 red cards and an Own Goal. And now Racing Santander are playing against Celta, and if you've been following me for some time now you already know that Celta have some insane statistics regarding Red Cards, Own Goals and Penalty Kicks.
Celta are under tremendous pressure right now after a win-less start in the season (W0 D4 L2) and also just lost 1-0 to Omonia in the Europa League mid-week. There's understandably some frustration and frustration leads to bad decisions.
