Real Madrid is determined to contest the heavy sanction imposed on Cristiano Ronaldo following his altercation during the match against Athletic Bilbao. Ronaldo received a 3-match suspension, which the club believes is excessive.
Coach Ancelotti expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision, stating that three matches for the incident is abnormal. Real Madrid has filed an appeal against the suspension, hoping to reduce the number of matches Ronaldo will miss.
If the appeal is unsuccessful, Ronaldo will be sidelined for the upcoming matches against Villarreal, Getafe, and Elche in La Liga. However, the club remains optimistic about overturning the suspension on appeal.
