Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale has been handed a two-match ban
by La Liga’s competition committee after he was sent off for pushing Las Palmas
playmaker Jon Viera in Wednesday’s 3-3 draw.
Referee David Fernandez Borbalan dismissed Bale early in
the second half, with the score at 1-1, after he kicked out at Viera before
pushing him to the ground.
Las Palmas then went 3-1 ahead, only for Madrid’s 10 men
to draw level late on thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty and header.
Real Madrid have announced that they will appeal the
sanction. Bale is set to miss La Liga matches against Eibar and Real Betis.
Wednesday’s draw saw Real Madrid lose their spot atop the
league with Barcelona taking a one-point lead.
