In a heated Copa del Rey final, Antonio Rudiger was sent off after throwing an object at the referee in a fit of rage over a foul against Mbappe. This incident, along with the dismissals of his teammates Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham for dissent, heightened tensions during the match. Rudiger may face a lengthy ban under Spanish football regulations, depending on the perceived severity of his actions. Ultimately, Barcelona triumphed with a late winner from Jules Kounde, despite Real Madrid leading earlier in the game.
Rudiger reportedly threw an ice cube at the official, which led to his dismissal for 'throwing an object from the technical area, which missed me.'
If sanctioned under article 101, which covers 'mild violence' towards referees, Rudiger could receive a suspension of between four and 12 matches.
Barcelona defender Jules Kounde drilled in a 22-yard screamer in the 116th minute to ultimately win a thrilling encounter on Saturday.
The Real bench reacted furiously, with Rudiger appearing to throw an object at De Burgos Bengoetxea, for which he was dismissed.
