Ronaldo's act of pushing the referee after being red carded could lead to a 12-match suspension.
 |
In the first leg of the Super Cup against Barca, Ronaldo took off his shirt to celebrate a goal, leading to a yellow card. |
 |
He then dived again to win a penalty, resulting in a second yellow card. |
 |
Ronaldo was sent off the field by referee Bengoetxea with a red card. |
 |
Angry with the King in black, Ronaldo pushed Mr. Bengoetxea hard in the back as he was turning away. |
 |
Unfortunately for him, this behavior was caught on camera. |
 |
Referee Bengoetxea glared at Ronaldo. He then wrote in the match report: "Ronaldo pushed me hard in the back because he did not agree with the red card in the second half." |
 |
This is considered an act of physical assault on the referee. The Spanish Football Disciplinary Board is examining the tape to examine this case. If found guilty of assaulting the referee, Ronaldo will be suspended for up to 12 matches. |
 |
According to Spanish football rules, the penalty from the Super Cup match can be extended to La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Thus, CR7 is at great risk of missing the first stage of the season. |
