Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo says the decision by the La Liga disciplinary committee to uphold his five-game ban for pushing a referee is “incomprehensible”.
The court told AFP it had rejected the FIFA Best Player’s appeal after he was shown a second yellow in the 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the first-leg of the Spanish Super Cup.
He was subsequently given a one-match ban for two yellow cards and four extra bans for pushing the referee after he had been sent off.
“From injustice to injustice, they will never bring me down,” he posted.
Ronaldo has already served two of his five games – the first being the return leg of the Spanish Cup at the Bernabeu and the first league match of the season away at Deportivo La Coruna (Real Madrid won both matches).
The Portuguese captain will return to domestic action on 20th September.
