The most ridiculous sending off in football? Lazio star jumped on his friend’s back after the win, left the pitch in tears

Luiz Felipe is one of the important players of Lazio Rome, which makes it all the more sad that coach Maurizio Sarri will miss him in the upcoming two Serie A matches due to a curious red card. What happened?

The eighth round of Serie A offered many interesting matches. One of the most interesting ones was the clash between Lazio Roma and Inter Milan. The home team was able to win 3-1.

The duel was quite heated, with 9 yellow cards. In addition, after the final whistle one severe red card was given.

Luiz Felipe, a Lazio player, celebrated the three points by jumping on the back of his big friend. The problem was that Joaquin Correa has been playing for Inter since the summer and didn’t take his former teammate’s celebration very well.

The referee registered the whole thing and the Brazilian defender was red-carded for unsportsmanlike conduct. Even though it was after the final whistle. The joy with which Felipe jumped on Correa’s back suddenly turned into leaving in tears.

Felipe then commented on the whole situation on social media, “I want to make it clear that I have great respect for Inter and any other club. We are professionals. I jumped on Correa’s back because he is a great friend of mine. Our families are friends, we are very close.”

“I wanted to hug him and joke about the result, but I was too excited. Maybe it wasn’t the right time or the right place. I apologize to anyone I offended with this. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful,” he said, adding that he really likes Correa.
