La Liga have finally announced a harsh ban for Antonio Rüdiger for misbehaving with the referee after full time against Barcelona in the Copa De Ray final
HReal Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger is facing a significant suspension following his red card in the Copa del Rey final loss to Barcelona. The incident occurred when Rudiger lost his composure on the touchline after Barcelona scored the winning goal, and he became involved in a heated altercation with the referee.
In the heat of the moment, Rudiger threw an object in the referee’s direction, resulting in a red card and a potential suspension ranging from four to twelve matches. The incident has sparked widespread criticism, but Rudiger has since issued a public apology for his actions.
On social media, Rudiger expressed his regret to both the referee and Real Madrid supporters, acknowledging that his behavior was unacceptable. He stated that he was disappointed in himself and that there was no excuse for his actions.
Rudiger also reflected on the game, praising his team’s performance from the second half onwards. However, he acknowledged that he was unable to help his team in the final minutes of the game due to physical discomfort.
The defender’s apology comes after a dramatic night for Real Madrid, who were denied a potential penalty claim in the 90th minute. Rudiger’s red card and potential suspension will likely have significant implications for Real Madrid’s upcoming fixtures.
“There’s definitely no excuse for my behaviour last night. I’m very sorry for that,” Rudiger wrote on Instagram.
“We played a very good game from the 2nd half on – After 111 minutes I was not able to help my team anymore and before the final whistle I did a mistake,” he added.
“Sorry again to the referee and to everyone I have disappointed last night,” he concluded.
