Antonio Rüdiger of Real Madrid has been handed a six-game suspension following his red card in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, where tensions flared at the match's conclusion. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham's red card was rescinded. Rüdiger's aggressive outburst, reportedly throwing an object from the technical area, led to his punishment, while teammate Lucas Vázquez received a two-game ban for protesting against the referee. Rüdiger has since expressed regret over his behavior and is expected to miss two months due to knee surgery.
There's definitely no excuse for my behaviour. I'm very sorry for that ... After 111 minutes, I was not able to help my team anymore and before the final whistle I did a mistake.
The disciplinary committee found that video evidence showed a different reality than that reflected in the referee's report.
