In the El Clasico of the Copa del rey final, Antonio Rudiger lost his calm in the final minutes of the game. Rudiger was seen throwing ice cubes towards the referee to which referee showed a red card to the german international.
Some minutes before the incident, Rudiger was benched along with Vinicius Jr. and the incident took place on the sidelines where Rudiger was icing on his cramps.
For this unethical behaviour by Rudiger, the disciplinary body of the Spanish Football Federation handed Rudiger with a 6 matches ban stating it a "minor offence" towards the official.
On the other hand, Jude Bellingham was revoked of his red card after submission of video proof by Real Madrid. The referee's report mentioned "Bellingham charged towards the official in an aggressive manner".
Lucas Vasquez has also been given a ban of two matches for questioning officials in a rebellious attitude.
Antonio Rudiger has apologised for his behavior in a video earlier this week as Rudiger faces a 6 matches ban and mentioned his meniscus tear surgery and told the viewers that he had to suffer an inevitable injury after overdoing himself in the game. He also mentioned that now he is free of the pain due to successful surgery.
