Real Madrid Fail With Appeal For Ronaldo’s Ban, Portugal Captain To Miss Five Games

Real Madrid have failed in an attempt to have Cristiano Ronaldo’s five-match suspension overturned.

Ronaldo was given the punishment, after he pushed referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea during their 3-1 win over Barcelona, in the first leg of their Super Cup clash.

Although he could have been suspended for up to 12 matches due to the reaction, the Spanish FA (RFEF) chose to give him a more lenient five-game suspension.

Madrid however chose to appeal the ban and it has now be rejected.
That means that Ronaldo cannot play in the second leg of the competition, scheduled for later the same day.

He will also miss the opening four La Liga fixtures of the season against Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Levante and Real Sociedad.
