Cristiano Ronaldo banned for five matches

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for five matches after pushing the referee following his red card in Sunday's Clasico.

The Portuguese forward 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 on to mimic Lionel Messi’s iconic jersey-holding celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu from April.

A second booking followed for diving, under pressure from Samuel Umtiti, and Ronaldo did not take too kindly to the decision of match official Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea.

The Spanish Football Federation have now delivered their verdict on the incident, with a five-game ban and fine handed out.
