Germany international of Sierra Leonean descent Antonio Rudiger could be suspended for a longer period following misconduct in the Real Madrid-Barcelona clash.

The Copa del Rey final between the two most glamourous clubs in Spain turned into a true spectacle, filled with tension, disputes, and emotions.

Over 120 minutes of play, spectators witnessed fierce competition, and Jules Koundé’s decisive goal in the closing stages secured victory for the Catalans.

However, the most significant uproar came after the final whistle, when Antonio Rudiger furiously confronted the referee team.

The former Chelsea defender lost control, confronting referee De Burgos Bengoetxea following final whistle. Rudiger attempted to throw an ice pack at the referee, but his teammates quickly intervened and stopped him.

The tough-tackling defender is facing a potential 4-12 match suspension for breaching Article 101 of the disciplinary code

If the disciplinary committee confirms this decision, Rudiger could face one of the harshest punishments in Real Madrid’s recent history.

A decision on the matter is expected in the coming hours. Meanwhile, the club intends to actively support their defender and is prepared to file an appeal in case of a severe verdict.
