The ref who handed out the red card to Cristiano Ronaldo during Real Madrid’s match against Athletic Bilbao has received a suspension of his own; he will be out for a whole month.
The controversial call had many questioning if the Ballon d’Or winner’s actions warranted such a harsh measure, especially in light of videos reviewing the incident which show the Bilbao player was trying to instigate.
It wouldn’t be the first time, nor the last, that opposing teams try to provoke the hot-blooded Portuguese star into committing a foul for which he could be ejected.
In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo’s altercation with Bilbao players Carlos Gurpegui and Ander Iturraspe, the ref clearly overreacted and slapped the Real striker with the red card.
Spanish radio station Cadena Cope reports that Spain’s refereeing technical committee has suspended Miguel Ángel Ayza Gámez for a month in the wake of his performance in the match.
