ITurralde González comments on the possible punishment with which the German defender of Real Madrid is confronted for his actions in the Copa del Rey final against Barça.
Madrid fans are waiting full of excitement for the sanction that can be handed over to Antonio Rüdiger for his behavior against the referee during the Copa del Rey final, in which FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid after an exciting extra time. The middle back, furious about a mistake called his team, threw an ice pack at referee De Burgos Bengoetxea. Although it didn't touch him, it could have caused serious problems.
Former referee ITurralde González spoke about the incident and the potential punishment on 'Cadena Ser' -Radio:
“It is violence against the referee, and the suspension can be between 4 and 12 games. More than 4 or 12? Let me tell me: if you are a fan and you throw a glass or something to a referee, you will be kicked out of the stadium and forbidden to return.”
ITurralde believes that “if you are a player, the ban should be closer to 12 games than 4. If a fan throws something at a referee, antiviolence committees get involved, they kick him out of the stadium, his membership in … So if the disciplinary committee could only be a player: are, but if you are a fan, but if you can have a fan, but if you are a fan, but if you can be a fan, but if you are not a fan, you can have a fans
Moreover, ITurralde said that Rüdiger's apology afterwards' is not a mitigating factor because it was not a spontaneous apology. I mean … if I throw something to a referee who wants to touch him, two hours is over, the referee is still not in the stadium.
