The verdict fell for the three Real Madrid players involved in the scuffle which followed the King's Cup final against FC Barcelona (2-3 AP). While the Merengues had just bowed, several elements had targeted the arbitral body, physically.
Antonio Rüdiger had notably denied by throwing projectiles on the referee. The German international risked suspension between 4 and 12 games. And he gets away with it.
Rüdiger thus received a suspension of six matches. But as he should miss the last five Real Madrid matches in La Liga this season, because of the knee operation he has just suffered, the former Chelsea player will be really absent for suspension only for one match: the 1st day of next season.
Real players are doing well
At the same time, Lucas Vazquez received two suspension matches. In Spain, the suspension of 4 or less matches only apply to the competition in question, and the right side will therefore be suspended for the next two meetings of the King Cup 2025-2026. A lesser evil again.
And Jude Bellingham in all of this? His red card was very simple was canceled. The referees had written this in their report:
“Once the match is over, he approached our position with an aggressive attitude, having to be retained by his teammates. »» But the images have shown that English had not had reprehensible behavior.
