This is the latest update on the red card received by Rudiger, Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez in the Barcelona vs Real Madrid Cup Del Rey final.
The consequences of Real Madrid’s hit cup final against Barcelona continue to dominate the headlines, with new updates to red cards sent to players Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez appearing.
At the dramatic end of the game, the three-man’s dismissal sparked widespread discussion, and the disciplinary decision now shapes the narrative around their actions and the club’s response to the controversy.
Antonio Rüdiger’s red card update
Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger has been awarded six games by the Spanish Football Federation Discipline Committee. His red card was behind his red card during Real Madrid’s dramatic 3-2 cup Copa del Rey’s final loss to Barcelona.
Rüdiger has been replaced, accused of throwing an object from the technical field and showing a positive attitude, which requires the intervention of the coaching staff. Despite expressing remorse to social media, the committee believes his apology does not have enough evidence.
For the compounding issue, Rüdiger has had knee surgery since then, expected to be eliminated for up to two months, excluding him from the rest of the Laliga season and possibly the upcoming Club World Cup.
Jude Bellingham’s red card update
The Spanish Football Federation’s Discipline Committee overturned Real Madrid’s Rey Del Rey final and handed over to Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham. Initially, referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea reported that Bellingham approached his stance with a positive attitude and asked his teammates to restrain themselves.
However, the video evidence provided by Real Madrid did not find such behavior, highlighting the “material, obvious error” in the referee’s report. The committee ruled that Bellingham ruled that any wrongdoing was cleared and red cards were cancelled.
Lucas Vazquez’s red card update
Another Real Madrid player, Lucas Vázquez, has been sentenced to two games after his move in the Cup final against Barcelona. Vázquez, who had been replaced, was sent away for entering the stadium in protest of the decision of referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.
His actions were considered inappropriate, resulting in the suspension of the Discipline Committee. The Copa del Rey final was marked by intense moments, with Vázquez’s sack exacerbating the dramatic conclusion of the match.
