Rico Lewis is making waves in Global Sports because he received a straight red card during Manchester City’s 2–0 victory over Wydad AC at the FIFA Club World Cup. In the 88th minute, Lewis’s boot caught Samuel Obeng in the face during a follow-through on a challenge. Despite VAR review, the red card stood, sparking debate among fans and pundits over whether the decision was overly harsh.

While some supporters labelled the red card “insanity,” others agreed with former player John Obi Mikel, who called it a clear sending-off due to the dangerous contact. The incident didn’t impact City’s win, as they had already secured the result with goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku. However, Lewis will now miss the next match due to suspension, adding to City’s squad concerns in the tournament.
