BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo gets a 5-match ban, 1 for his sending off and 4 for pushing the referee during El Clasico in the 1st leg of Spanish Super Cup.
The Real Madrid forward lost his cool after being shown a red card during their 3-1 victory over Barcelona.
The Portuguese forward reacted angrily to being dismissed during the second half of a 3-1 victory for Zinedine Zidane’s side over Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.
Ronaldo had joined the action as a substitute, helping to put Real 2-1 in front with a typically stunning strike at Camp Nou.
He was booked after removing his shirt in celebration, with the 32-year-old going on to mimic Lionel Messi’s iconic jersey-holding celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu from April.
A second booking followed for diving, under pressure from Samuel Umtiti, and Ronaldo did not take too kindly to the decision of match official Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea.
The Spanish Football Federation have now delivered their verdict on the incident, with a five-game ban and fine handed out.
A statement released by the RFEF read: “On the first account, Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo will be suspended for one game after receiving two yellow cards, the first for taking off his jersey while celebrating his goal and the second for simulation. The club have also been fined €350 and the player €800.
"On the second account, Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for another four games for infraction of article 96 of the disciplinary code, with a €1400 fine for the club and a €3005 fine for the player."
As things stand, Ronaldo will now be forced to sit out the return date of the Super Cup clash with Barca in Madrid on Wednesday.
He will also miss La Liga fixtures against Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Levante and Real Sociedad.
Real do, however, have 10 days in which to appeal the ruling.

some of your negative comments about Ronaldo are just annoying, come to think of his second yellow card, is the ref stupid, if not of jealousy does that worth a yellow ? card....

Its really unfortunate for Cristiano but Messi did the same when they played Madrid their last classic match,The only advice for Cristiano to be very watchful since the Spanish doesn't likes him. For Messi's gone free but For Cristiano it turn's RED. The scriptures says you will know them by their fruits.Why many eyes on Cristiano and why this

This is so sad for Spanish football, though Ronaldo was wrong to shove the referee, but the performance of the referee was uncalled for and damning to the perception of Spanish football for those watching. The five game ban is well deserved, even if I'm a Madrid fan I'd admit that. The referee also should be banned for few games as well or demoted to a lower league better still. thank you??

Don't let us comment blindly. Yes CR7 was wrong with the 1st card but mehn..I can do the same against an old rival...emotional expression. The 2nd was a difficult pill to swallow and again emotional expression for the shoving. It's the law and it's not excusable. There are consequences. 5 Match ban it is! Fair enough for me.

let's be fair about this issue. Ronaldo is a great player, that I agree but we all know every sin deserves a punishment and he did that and was punished. No one on earth is PERFECT mistakes are bound to happen and we should admit that. to Ronaldo it's a fault to the referee Ronaldo was trying to steal from him to me the referee was very biased cause a simple goal kick could have being given if not a penalty on the other hand.. the referee took it PERSONAL..
