Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League debut with Juventus ended in tears.
The club's marquee summer signing was sent off after a coming-together with Valencia center-back Jeison Murillo in the first half of Wednesday's Champions League clash at the Mestalla.
Match official Felix Brych made the decision to red-card Ronaldo following consultation with the fourth official.
The 33-year-old appeared to knock Murillo off balance before briefly grabbing the Colombian's hair.
Juve will definitely appeal to overturn this Ronaldo red card. What did he do really? It would be a shame if he can’t play at OT #UCL pic.twitter.com/IS2J1BlxfS

Ronaldo risks a two-match ban if he's charged with violent conduct. That would leave the Portuguese international out of next month's visit to Old Trafford to face former side Manchester United.
