On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain, who are currently leading the Ligue 1 standings, were involved in a scoreless draw against Reims, and Sergio Ramos was shown a red card for the 28th time in his career.
At the Stade Auguste Delaune, the Spanish player, who was 36 years old at the time, was ejected for getting into a heated argument about a yellow card that had been issued to his colleague Marco Verratti.
Since Ramos had transferred to PSG from Real Madrid in July 2021, this incident marked the second time he had been told to leave the team.
Ramos was sent off a total of 26 times while playing in the Spanish top flight during the course of his career.
Despite this, Reims were not able to gain an advantage from his most recent altercation with the match officials.
PSG stretched their lead at the top of the table to three points over Marseille as Igor Tudor's team dropped their first game of the season at home to Ajaccio. With the point, they moved up to 14th in the table, while PSG increased their lead at the top to four points.
After 15 minutes of play at the Vélodrome, the home team's Dimitri Payet scored the first goal of the match from the penalty spot.
But the visitors were equal 10 minutes later through Bevic Moussiti-Oko. The break in play was followed immediately by an own goal scored by Leonardo Balerdi, which put Ajaccio in the lead.
The men led by Olivier Pantaloni were able to pull out only their second victory of the season, which moved them up one spot in the standings.
On Sunday, third-placed Lorient and Lens, who are currently fourth, have the opportunity to draw closer to PSG.
Lorient, who currently have 22 points, travel to Brest to take on their opponents, while Lens, who currently have 21, travel to the Stade Pierre Mauroy to face their northern rivals, Lille.
