Real Madrid's Rudiger, Bellingham, Vazquez Red Carded in Copa del Rey Final

Barcelona won a tense Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid 3-2 in extra time, but the match was overshadowed by chaotic scenes and multiple red cards for Madrid players. Tempers flared in the final moments when Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger, after being substituted, threw a bag of ice toward the referee and had to be restrained by teammates and staff, resulting in a red card and the possibility of a lengthy suspension. Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham were also sent off for aggressively protesting decisions, with Bellingham needing to be restrained after confronting the referee post-match. The referee, Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea, had faced criticism from Real Madrid prior to the game, with the club voicing concerns about his past officiating and even boycotting the pre-match press conference. These incidents have prompted the Spanish FA to review potential bans, especially for Rudiger, whose actions could lead to an exceptional suspension extending beyond the cup competition. The controversies have fueled ongoing tensions between Real Madrid and Spanish football officials.
