Key Updates on red cards for Bellingham, Rudiger & Lucas Vazquez

Here is the latest update on red cards received by Rudiger, Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez in the Barcelona vs Real Madrid Copa del Rey final.

The aftermath of Real Madrid's heated Copa del Rey final against Barcelona continues to dominate headlines, as fresh updates emerge regarding the red cards issued to players Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rüdiger, and Lucas Vázquez.

The trio's dismissals in the dramatic closing moments of the match have sparked widespread discussions, with disciplinary decisions now shaping the narrative around their actions and the club's response to the controversy.

Antonio Rüdiger's red card update

Antonio Rudiger

Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger has been handed a six-game suspension by the Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee. The punishment follows his red card during Real Madrid's dramatic 3-2 Copa del Rey final loss to Barcelona.

Rüdiger, who had already been substituted, was accused of throwing an object from the technical area and displaying an aggressive attitude, which required intervention by the coaching staff. Despite expressing remorse on social media, his apology was deemed insufficient evidence of genuine regret by the committee.

To compound matters, Rüdiger has since undergone knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined for up to two months, ruling him out for the remainder of the LaLiga season and potentially the upcoming Club World Cup.

Jude Bellingham's red card update

The red card issued to Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham during the tense Copa del Rey final against Barcelona has been overturned by the Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee. Initially, referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea reported that Bellingham approached his position with an aggressive attitude, requiring restraint by teammates.

However, video evidence presented by Real Madrid revealed no such behaviour, highlighting a "material, manifest error" in the referee's report. The committee ruled in favour of Bellingham, clearing him of any wrongdoing and rescinding the red card.

Lucas Vazquez's red card update

Lucas Vázquez, another Real Madrid player, has been handed a two-game suspension following his actions during the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Vázquez, who had already been substituted, was sent off for entering the pitch to protest a decision by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.

His actions were deemed inappropriate, resulting in the disciplinary committee imposing the suspension. The Copa del Rey final was marked by heated moments, with Vázquez's dismissal adding to the game's dramatic conclusion.
