Such was his rage, he attempted to throw ice at the referee, and had to be forcibly restrained by his team-mates. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Now, Lothar Matthaus, Rudiger's countryman, has urged La Liga to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/no-excuse-real-madrid-antonio-rudiger-speaks-projectile-referee-copa-del-rey-final-rampage-red-card-barcelona/bltf50d78ce61024e17" target="_blank">hand the defender a lengthy ban</a>. He believes that Rudiger should be grateful if he receives anything close to a four-week suspension, but is anticipating "double-digits".</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Matthaus said on Sky90: "He went crazy, he was no longer in control. He's a German international, he should be a role model. Yesterday he forgot all about that." </p><p>He added:  "If he walks away with a four-week suspension, he can be satisfied. I'm more thinking of a double-digit ban. I expect a massive ban. Besides, he was on probation."</p>

WHAT MATTHAUS SAID

<p>Real play Celta Vigo on Sunday before they renew hostilities with Barcelona on May 11. Los Blancos are four points behind their eternal rivals with five games to go.</p>
