Updated Disciplinary Decisions on Red Cards for Antonio Rüdiger, Jude Bellingham, and Lucas Vázquez in Copa del Rey Final
The fallout from Real Madrid’s intense 3-2 Copa del Rey final defeat to Barcelona continues, as the Spanish football federation’s disciplinary committee has issued rulings on the red cards involving Antonio Rüdiger, Jude Bellingham, and Lucas Vázquez.
Antonio Rüdiger’s Red Card Update Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger has been hit with a six-match suspension following his red card in the heated final. Although he had already been substituted, Rüdiger was accused of throwing an object from the technical area and displaying aggressive behavior that required coaching staff intervention.
Despite later issuing an apology via social media, the disciplinary committee ruled that his statement lacked convincing evidence of genuine remorse. To add to his woes, Rüdiger recently underwent knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined for up to two months—ruling him out of the rest of the LaLiga campaign and potentially the Club World Cup.
Jude Bellingham’s Red Card Update In contrast, Jude Bellingham has seen his red card rescinded. The midfielder was initially sent off for allegedly approaching the referee in an aggressive manner, an incident detailed in the match report by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.
However, Real Madrid successfully appealed the decision, presenting video footage that showed no such behavior. The committee concluded that the referee’s report contained a “material, manifest error,” leading to the cancellation of Bellingham’s red card and clearing him of all charges.
Lucas Vázquez’s Red Card Update Lucas Vázquez has received a two-match suspension after being sent off despite having already been substituted. The disciplinary committee determined that Vázquez’s act of re-entering the pitch to confront the referee over a decision constituted inappropriate conduct.
His dismissal further fueled the chaos during the final moments of the match, adding to the controversy that has overshadowed the competition’s conclusion.
