Jean-Clair Todibo and the Fastest Red Card: Sent Off After Just 9 Seconds

Former Barcelona defender, Jean-Clair Todibo has played his way into the headlines after receiving a red card and getting himself sent off the field after only 9 seconds into the League 1 match between his team, Nice and Angers.

As reported by Marca, the moment the referee blew the whistle to kick off, Angers went on the attack and Todibo, as the last man, brought down the rival striker as he was heading for goal.

The action resulted in a straight red card, making Todibo the record holder for one of the quickest sending-offs in football history.

In the end, Nice went on to lose 1-0 to a Nabil Bentaleb goal, though Angers also had Sofiane Boufal dismissed in the second half.

Todibo’s past at Barcelona

Todibo made five appearances for Barcelona before making a loan move to Nice permanent in 2021.

Since then, he has been almost ever-present, with this game against Angers being his 51st appearance since joining the club on a permanent deal.

However, this red card after only nine seconds was his second dismissal of the season, having seen a double yellow against Clermont Foot in August.
