The Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation considered Real Madrid's appeal regarding the sending off of Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin in the El Clasico match against Barcelona (2:1).

At the end of the game, the Ukrainian, who was on the bench, became involved in a conflict with the Barcelona players, for which he was punished with a red card, as indicated in the match report. The Madrid club attempted to challenge this decision.

However, as Mundo Deportivo reports, the disciplinary committee did not uphold Real's appeal and upheld the referee's decision, punishing the goalkeeper with a one-match ban..

In his report, the referee of the match, Cesar Soto Grado, explained the reason for the removal:.

“In the 90th minute, player Andrei Lunin was sent off because he ran from his bench towards the opponents’ bench in an aggressive state and had to be restrained by his teammates.”.

The disciplinary committee assessed the Ukrainian’s actions as a “minor violation of sporting order” and recognized the referee’s report as reliable, and the video recordings do not refute his conclusions.

Real Madrid have the option of applying to the Appeals Committee or the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to request a temporary suspension of the suspension.

It is worth noting that this season Lunin has not yet played a single match for the Madrid team.

Earlier it was reported that one of the leaders of Real Madrid gave Lunin advice on his future career.
