The Competition Committee has handed a three-game ban to Real Madrid defender Marcelo following his red card against Elche in the Copa del Rey.
The Brazilian was given a one-game suspension for the straight red card and another two matches for telling the referee "you are very bad".
Marcelo will serve the punishment in the Copa del Rey, meaning he will miss the quarter-final against Athletic Club as well as the potential two-legged semi-final.
As it is under four games, the ban will be served in the same competition and is treated differently to the Supercopa given the irregularity of competing in that competition.
An expensive reaction
Marcelo was also handed a 2,250 euro fine, with 1,300 euros relating to the dissent shown.
Elche forward Pere Milla, who was shown a second yellow for dissent, was given a one-game ban.

Madness at it's best.... Natural hatred at it's best... FYI, Marcelo barely had a touch on that foul and so he had the writes to ask for CAR review... Well, if that's how they think they will stop us, let's see what happens at the time we play in the finals
