The Fallout of the last defeat of Real Madrid Copa del Rey against Barcelona continued with Antonio Rudiger, the central figure.
During a night of huge drama in Sevilla, Rudiger took the headlines full -time, even though he was not on the playing field while Barcelona took the trophy.
While they took the extra time of 120 minutes in the extra time of 120 minutes, the frustration of Los Blancos cooked several times when their chance to force a penalty shootout slip away through the winner of Jules Kounde.
Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea – who was heavily criticized by Real Madrid for the match – sent Rudiger and teammates Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham in chaotic scenes.
Rudiger is said to have thrown an object to the official and Burgos BergoetXea confirmed the full details of why he took three red cards after the game in a damn referee.
“In the 120th minute, Rudiger was sent for the following reason: before throwing an object from the technical area without reaching me. After shown the red card, he had to be stopped by different members of the technical staff,” the report said.
The case is referred to the RFEF to make a call on Rudiger's ban with Vazquez and Bellingham, which is expected to be served in Copa del Rey next season.
The seriousness of Rudiger's actions-included a statement that he threw an ice pack in Burgos Bengoetxea-Zou can get a suspension of 4-12 games if an exception is made and the prohibition in La Liga is performed.
The veteran defender may not be able to play further in the season, and he has now given an apology for the decision.
“There is absolutely no excuse for my behavior last night. I am very sorry. We played a very good game from the second half – after 111 minutes I could no longer help my team and before the last whistle I made a mistake,” he posted on social media.
“Sorry for the referee and for everyone I disappointed last night.”
