Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

This is not over. Real Madrid is supposedly outraged (go figure) about this decision and is in fact appealing to the Committee of Appeals that will meet on friday. He can yet get the ban reduced and most likely will.

All in all though, very convenient the ban ends exactly just in time for the Liga clash vs Atletico.

What is convinient about it? its not like he deserved 4 games or something.
I still expect them to reduce it to 1 after Madrid going against this decision.

He did deserve the card. He clearly scratched the face of an opponent, that was expulsion worthy. Then there is the other aggression not seen by the referee, that was expulsion worthy as well.

Then he got further ban for the gesture directed at the referee which was also deserved and could have been longer. Valdes got a 4 match ban after the Clasico for calling the ref an SOB, it is only just that Ronaldo get a similar ban for doing pretty much the same thing.
