Atletico Madrid's Angel Correa Suspended Five Matches for Referee Insults

The forward received the ban after a red card and subsequent verbal abuse of the referee during a LaLiga loss to Getafe.

Angel Correa was shown a red card in the 88th minute of Atletico Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Getafe for a studs-up tackle, following a VAR review.
After being sent off, Correa insulted referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernández, calling him offensive names, which were noted in the referee's match report.
The Spanish soccer federation issued a five-match suspension: one for the red card and four for the verbal abuse, citing that pressure cannot excuse such behavior.
Correa has apologized publicly on social media, admitting his reaction was inappropriate and reaffirming his respect for referees.
The suspension sidelines Correa for critical matches, including LaLiga games against Barcelona, Espanyol, Sevilla, and Valladolid, as well as the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Barcelona.
