Antonio Rudiger from Real Madrid has been banned for six matches by the Spanish Football Federation for inappropriate conduct during the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Following a red card, he threw an ice pack at the referee and attempted to confront him, leading to a severe reprimand. While the potential punishment could have reached twelve matches, the RFEF settled on six games, affecting his eligibility in La Liga. Rudiger's injury and resulting knee surgery could keep him off the field for two months, marking an abrupt end to his season.
The Spanish Football Federation has imposed a six-game ban on Antonio Rudiger for misconduct during the Copa del Rey final, impacting his participation in future matches.
Rudiger's actions, including throwing an ice pack at referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and trying to confront him, were deemed sufficient for a severe punishment.
Although the German defender faced a potential 12-game ban, he will only serve six matches across competitions due to the nature of his offense.
Real Madrid's Rudiger underwent knee surgery, which means he will be sidelined for approximately two months, effectively ending his La Liga season before the suspension.
