Cristiano Ronaldo will be sitting out the next five Real Madrid soccer games as he has been suspended following an incident at his latest match.

The 32-year-old soccer player pushed a referee during the Spanish Super Cup first-leg match on Sunday (August 13) at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain.

Ronaldo‘s actions were in response to being given a penalty for supposedly diving in the opponent Barcelona’s box. He was also given a yellow card for removing his shirt to celebrate scoring.

Real Madrid has ten days to appeal the ban.
