145;Barca must learn red card lessons146;

Barcelona8217;s 3-1 victory over Espanyol on Saturday brought an end to a four-match winless run but coach Frank Rijkaard was still unhappy after three of his players were sent off in a game that set a Spanish league record for red cards.

Barcelona and Espanyol both finished the game with eight men, after referee Alfonso Pino Zamorano broke the record of five red cards set in a game between Espanyol and Real Mallorca in 1987.

8216;8216;We have to correct our tendency to tackle players in control of the ball when they have their backs to goal,8217;8217; Rijkaard said. 8216;8216;What can a player do with his back to goal? We have to think about it and keep on the pressure. We8217;ve had a lot of cards for this reason this season and I hope we take it as a lesson.8217;8217;
