RAMOS REVIEW HIS INTENTIONAL BOOKING.

Spain and Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos said he did not purposely pick up a yellow card against Ajax, having earlier revealed that he intentionally received a booking to be available for the Champions League quarter-finals.

The captain will miss the return leg of the last-16 tie after being booked in Amsterdam for Madrid's controversial 2-1 win against  Ajax  on Wednesday.

Playing in his 600th match for Madrid, Ramos was yellow carded during the closing stages, ruling him out of the second leg in the Spanish capital on March 5.

Afterwards, Ramos admitted: "Looking at the result, I'd be lying if I said I didn't force [the booking].

"It is not to underestimate the opponent nor to think that the series is over, but in football you have to make tough decisions."

However, Ramos backtracked from his original comments after tweeting post-match.

In a post via Twitter, Ramos wrote: "I want to make it clear that it hurts more than anyone, I have not forced the card, as I did not against Roma in my previous Champions League match.

"I will support from the stands as one more fan with the illusion of being in the quarters."  Ramos revealed in an interview.
