The 33-year-old appeared to pull his feet out of the challenge as the players went for a loose ball, although he did clatter into the Brazilian, and Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers produced a straight red card for a challenge which looked more reckless than dangerous.
He said: "When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around.
"It felt like I had a lot of babies around me."

He added: "I don't know if I have to get angry or start to laugh. For me when I saw the red card I was like 'the guy doesn't know what he's doing'."
The Sweden striker also suggested Oscar feigned injury.
"I pulled out (of the tackle), because I saw him come in the tackle. I don't know if he was acting afterwards. Doesn't matter. We won the game, we went through and let's see what happens."
The
33-year-old lauded the performance of his team-mates, who defied the
numerical advantage to twice come from behind and progress on away goals
courtesy of a 2-2 draw - 3-3 on aggregate.
"It was an amazing performance because we were playing with one less (player)," he added.
"They
played with big hearts. It's not easy to play with 10 guys, especially
against a team like Chelsea. We showed quality and big heart."
