Read our privacy policy Real Madrid star Toni Kroos was left stunned and confused when he received a yellow card for a ghost tackle during the club’s Copa del Rey victory over Elche. Kroos went in for a challenge but didn’t connect with the ball or forward Tete Morente but the player threw himself to the floor and referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez gave a free kick. The full-time score stood at 0-0 which triggered extra time; Elche went ahead through Gonzalo Verdu and Real went down to 10 following Marcelo’s red card.
