Was he in control of his body? You admitted that he wasn't, however this was given as a yellow card offence anyway so it's not like you can be arguing against it being a straight red. Getting the ball doesn't mean you can go in however you want, it was a foul, he had been booked, he received another.
Are you in control of your body in any sliding challenge?
There will always be a follow through. No one can stop in mid air. There will be a collision. It's a contact sport.
Had he missed the ball and his foot went in to Gotze in the same way then fair enough but the fact he got the ball, his only intention was getting the ball, he should have stayed on. It was Gotze who wasn't looking at the ball
