###Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for Al Nassr against Al Hilal!!!

Speaking on the Up the Villa Podcast, Butler attempted to back up his claims.

“There is so much more to come. I don't think Leon has hit 40% of his potential yet. You've only seen 40 percent of what Leon can do. It's about the timing, I believe that one day he will be the best player in the world," He argued.

Bailey has been terrific for Villa this season and has put a stamp of authority on his position, with eight goals and eight assists, which is four more G/A than summer signing Moussa Diaby.

"He'll keep getting better and better and one day he will be regarded as the best player in the world. Messi is getting older, Cristiano’s getting older, Neymar has injury problems and is getting older, [Kylian] Mbappe as well. Leon has no cap on his potential. You've not seen anything yet," Continued Butler.

Sadio Mane grabbed a late consolation for the ten men of Al Nassr, who will now be without Ronaldo after his straight red.

In an incident near the touchline, Ronaldo, with the ball in his hand, elbowed defender Ali Al-Bulaihi.

Ronaldo was sent off and furiously appeared to raise his fist at the referee before stopping himself.

The pair clashed back in December when Ali Al-Bulaihi squared up to him and taunted him at the final whistle even after being sent off himself.

The defender has quite the knack of getting into with high-profile players. He got into it with Spurs skipper Heung-Min Son, pushing him and pulling his hair in Saudi Arabia's Asian Cup game against South Korea.

Remarkably, Son was able to maintain his composure and not lose his cool.
