Zidane ‘upset’ by ‘excessive’ Cristiano Ronaldo ban

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has slammed the five-game ban handed to Cristiano Ronaldo after his red card and subsequent push on the referee during Sunday’s dramatic Super Cup win over Barcelona.

Madrid hold a 3-1 lead going into Wednesday’s decider against their fierce rivals – live on Sky Sports Football – but are set to be without Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.

The Portugal star, having been booked for a goal celebration, was controversially shown a second yellow for diving and given an extra four-game ban for nudging referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea after being shown the 10th red card of his career.
