The World Cup winner has learned his
fate after the competition committee of the RFEF passed judgement on his
challenge on the Barcelona forward
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has
received a one-match ban after being sent off for a lunge on Lionel Messi in
Sunday's El Clasico defeat to Barcelona.
Messi went on to score the winner in a
3-2 win for Barca following Ramos' dismissal, with the defender having
exchanged words with fellow Spain international Gerard Pique on his way from
the field.
Ramos also applauded as he departed
the Santiago Bernabeu pitch, with Madrid's appeal against the dismissal having
been rejected by the competition committee of the RFEF, which described
the foul on Messi as a "violent act" in its ruling.
Neymar was banned for the Clasico
after sarcastically clapping the match officials following his red card in a
defeat at Malaga, which earned the Brazilian a two-game extension to his
one-match ban.
But Ramos avoided any further
punishment for his red card as the referee Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez
made no mention of his clash with Pique or the Madrid skipper's applauding on
his departure in his report.
Barcelona's Clasico victory sent them
top of La Liga via their superior head-to-head record against Madrid, with both
teams in league action on Wednesday as Barca host Osasuna and Madrid travel to
Deportivo La Coruna.
