2 Match Ban

Meeting this morning to discuss the red card
shown to Real Madrid's Crisitiano Ronaldo in Los Blancos' weekend
fixture against Malaga, La Liga's Competition Committee has decided to
suspend the €94 million man for two matches, as reported by Marca.

Madrid
have decided to appeal the ruling in a bid to have the punishment
reduced to one match. The Appeals Committee meets on Thursday and will
make a final decision at that time. In the initial ruling the
Competition Committee did not classify the player's action as
'aggressive', which would have carried a ban of at least three matches.
