📸 Kung fu Pafos! Fastest Champions League red card ever brandished | OneFootball

Having witnessed the fastest sending-off in the history of the Champions League is a record that no player wants to claim for themselves. Good news for the previous fastest red-card offender: he has been surpassed. Bad news for David Luiz: it concerns him.
Although the Brazilian veteran did not have to hit the showers himself extremely early, one of his teammates did.

Pafos defender Joao Correia was a bit too eager in a challenge in the third minute of the match against Kairat Almaty.
Referee Christopher Kavanagh therefore pulled out the red card after barely 180 seconds played.
Even without an exact measurement down to the second, it is clear that this is a new record. The previous record was held by Shakhtar defender Olexandr Kucher, who was sent off after 3 minutes and 59 seconds in a 7-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in 2015.
