Toni Kroos was left reeling after the Real Madrid midfielder picked up a yellow card for a 'ghost tackle' on Elche's Tete Morente in their Copa del Rey victory on Thursday.
The German midfielder went in for a challenge late in the second-half but failed to make connection with either the ball or the man, but Elche substitute Morente fell to the ground and referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez blew for a free-kick.
Replays confirmed that Kroos was nowhere near Morente when he went to ground and protested his innocence with the official, who showed him a yellow card as he complained about the call.
