The Spanish Football Association, after carefully examining the red card received by Real Madrid's forward Cristiano Ronaldo, has decided that the Portuguese player will miss the next three matches of the "La Liga" championship.

Just a reminder, on Sunday the teams of Bilbao Athletic and Real Madrid drew 0-0. In the 76th minute, there was an altercation between C.Ronaldo and some Basque players near the hosts' goal. After this incident, only one player remained on the field - the 29-year-old forward.

Initially, it was thought that the captain of the Portuguese national team would only miss the upcoming Spanish league match against Villarreal, but it was decided that C.Ronaldo's behavior was unacceptable and he would be suspended for a longer period.

The leader of the "Royal" club will not be able to help the team in matches against Villarreal, Elche, and Getafe.

However, Real Madrid was lucky because C.Ronaldo will not miss the semifinal of the Copa del Rey against Madrid Atletico. Today, the first match between these teams will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
