Overview

  • Antonio Rüdiger has been handed a six-match suspension for throwing an object and displaying aggressive behavior during the Copa del Rey final.
  • Lucas Vázquez will serve a two-match ban in the next Copa del Rey competition for protesting on the field during the same match.
  • Jude Bellingham’s red card was overturned after video evidence showed he was not in aggressive proximity to the referees as initially claimed.
  • Rüdiger’s suspension largely overlaps with his recovery from knee surgery, minimizing his additional missed playing time for Real Madrid.
  • The disciplinary rulings, now final, impact Real Madrid’s defensive lineup for the season’s conclusion and the start of the next campaign.
