The RFEF Competition Committee will meet Tuesday to determine the severity of Cristiano Ronaldo’s red card offense. According to the referee’s match report, he was sent off at 115’ for “striking the face of his rival with his foot, with no intention to play the ball.”
Two sanctions can be applied:
2-match ban minimum, applied in same competition (Copa del Rey)
4-match ban minimum, applied in the next 4 domestic matches *
The more strict penalty would mean Ronaldo would miss the final 2 league matches and then the first 2 next season.
* AS believes that there is a possibility that the Competition Committee may only apply a 2-match ban, given that it is the end of the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the 6th player in club history to reach 200 goals and needed the least amount of matches to do so. (197). He is just 8 away from equalling Hugo Sánchez.
