Champions League: Kessie sees red as AC Milan crumble to Kondogbia’s Atletico Madrid

The Ivorian star was given the marching orders as the Red and Blacks were silenced by Diego Simeone’s Mattresses

Franck Kessie was sent off as AC Milan lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in Tuesday’s Champions League encounter.

A minute before the half hour mark of the Group B fixture, the Cote d’Ivoire international was given the marching orders for a second caution by referee Cuneyt Cakir.

Kessie, 24, had already been cautioned in the 15th minute for a foul on Marcos Llorente, however, he was shown the way out fourteen minutes later for another bookable offence against the Spaniard.
