However, his chances of filling his four -point delay on his rival could be compromised by the events that occurred during the fiery final at the Cartuja.
The consequences of this match were mainly linked to the three red cards received by Real Madrid at the end of the match, notably that of Antonio Rüdiger, expelled in the last minutes of the extension for having thrown an object towards the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.
Real Madrid is not varnished this season
Rüdiger also had to be under control after being expelled, as indicated by the arbitration report submitted by De Burgos Bengoetxea to the Spanish Football Federation. This is bad news for Real Madrid, Diario as reporting that the German defender could be suspended for the rest of the Liga season.
A very large suspension
Rüdiger risks suspension ranging from 4 to 12 games. Five games from the end of the national season, it is possible that it was forfeited until the 2025-26 season, which would be a blow for Real Madrid.
He will already be deprived of Eder Militao on injury, and David Alaba having been in difficulty since his return after a long absence, Aurélien Tchouamed could be forced to be used again in central defense. If this was the case, Real Madrid would run out of options in the midfield, Eduardo Camavanga being already forfeited until next season.
Real Madrid will know in the coming days the sanction imposed in Rudiger, as well as that inflicted on Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham, the other two players expelled after the King Cup final.
