Cristiano Ronaldo 5-match ban upheld

Cristiano Ronaldo’s appeal of his five-match suspension following his red card in the Spanish Supercopa has been denied by Spain’s Administrative Court of Sport, according to GOAL. 

The Real Madrid C.F. star will now be forced to miss Game 2 of the Supercopa plus his club’s next three Spanish La Liga games. He is eligible to return Week 5 of the La Liga against Real Betis. 

Real’s Portuguese forward was suspended for pushing the referee after being red carded during Game 1 of the club’s Supercopa de España (Spanish Super Cup) football clash against FC Barcelona.
