Serigo Ramos, who was suspended for Real Madrid's second leg match against Ajax, was caught filming his personal documentary in the Bernabeu as he watched his team get knocked out.

Rasmos was only suspended for the match after getting himself deliberately yellow carded in the first leg - a tactic commonly used by players to restart their yellow card count. UEFA later ruled that Ramos had indeed earned his yellow card on purpose. 

Madrid were 2-1 up in Amsterdam when Ramos decided, with the approval of his coach Santiago Solari, to earn a yellow card to ensure he would be free to play in the quarter-finals stage. 

Ramos and the reigning champions clearly underestimated Ajax, and were accused of arrogance for already planning for the quarter-finals with 90 minutes still to play in the round-of-16 tie. 

The decision clearly backfired, as Ramos sat in his personal VIP box at the Bernabeu watching on as Madrid completely collapsed against the Dutch side to lose 4-1 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate. 

It's the first time since 2015 that Real Madrid has been knocked out of the Champions League. 

To make matters worse for Ramos, his replacement Nacho had a poor game culminating in a late red card.

This all unfolded while Ramos was captured by photographers at the Bernabeu recording his personal documentary for Amazon.
