Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for five matches after pushing the referee following his red card in Sunday's Clasico.
Ronaldo reacted angrily to being dismissed during the second half of a 3-1 victory for Zinedine Zidane’s side over Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.
He was booked after removing his shirt in celebration, with the 32-year-old going to mimic Lionel Messi’s jersey-holding celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu in April.
A second booking followed for diving, under pressure from Samuel Umtiti, and Ronaldo did not take it lightly with the referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea.
The Spanish Football Federation have now given their verdict on the incident, with a five-game ban and fine handed out to Christiano Ronaldo.
