5 Mar
Summary
- Franco Mastantuono received a two-match ban for dissent.
- Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carreras also suspended for one game.
- Real Madrid lost 1-0 at home and had appeals rejected.
Real Madrid endured a difficult evening, losing 1-0 at home to Getafe. The frustration peaked in the closing stages when Franco Mastantuono was shown a straight red card for dissent towards the referee. As a result, Mastantuono has been handed a two-match ban by the Spanish Football Federation's Disciplinary Committee, confirming he will miss upcoming La Liga fixtures against Celta Vigo and Elche.
Adding to Real Madrid's woes, Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carreras will also serve one-match suspensions. Both players received their fifth yellow cards of the season during the Getafe match, leading to their confirmed bans. The club's appeals for Mastantuono's red card and Tchouameni's yellow card were both rejected, capping off a trying period for the team's management. The team must quickly regroup as they prepare for crucial upcoming matches.
Real Madrid faces Celta Vigo on Friday night, followed by a home game against Elche. These league fixtures are sandwiched between their Champions League Round of 16 tie with Manchester City. With Barcelona leading the La Liga title race, Real Madrid cannot afford further slip-ups in these upcoming games.
