Cristiano Ronaldo will serve a five-match ban after Real Madrid failed in a bid to overturn the red card he received in the 3-1 Spanish Super Cup first-leg win over Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The Portugal forward was given his marching orders at the Nou Camp on Sunday after picking up two yellow cards – one for taking his shirt off after scoring and the other for diving.<\/p>\n

After scoring a stunning goal for Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, Cristiano Ronaldo then received a second yellow card for diving and pushed the referee before leaving the pitch<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The 32-year-old will miss the\u00a0second leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Barca on Wednesday\u00a0as well as Madrid’s La Liga opener away at Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He will also be suspended for the matches against Valencia (home), Levante (home) and Real Sociedad (away).<\/p>\n

Real boss Zinedine Zidane branded Ronaldo’s second yellow card as “ludicrous”\u00a0following the victory over Barca.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid will be without the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo when they host Barcelona in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said: “I’m annoyed that Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off, it might not have been a penalty, but still, giving him a card is ludicrous.<\/p>\n

“I am truly proud of my players, they played well as 10 and really wanted the win. Now we turn our attentions to the return leg and we need to relax.”<\/p>\n
