- The Real Madrid star was sent off as he saw his first yellow for taking off his shirt while celebrating and the second one after a dive.
- Annoyed with the referee's decision, Ronaldo shoved match official Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea.
- Cristiano risked being banned for up to 12 matches.
- In the end, the Portuguese missed only five matches: one for the double yellow card and four for shoving the referee; he also paid a €3,805 fine.
- As for Leo Messi, the Barca's captain is expected to miss between four and 12 games after hitting Asier Villalibre in the Supercup clash against Athletic Bilbao.
