Ronaldo furiously react to failed ban appeal

CRISTIANO RONALDO REACTS TO 'INCOMPREHENSIBLE' UPHOLDING OF FIVE-MATCH BAN

Spain's Administrative Court of Sport has upheld the Portuguese star's suspension, prompting outrage from the attacker himself

Cristiano Ronaldo has described the decision to uphold his five-match ban for pushing a referee in Real Madrid's Supercopa de Espana win against Barcelona as "incomprehensible".

After being booked for removing his shirt in celebration after scoring as a substitute, Ronaldo was then shown a second yellow card in the wake of being adjudged by referee Ricardo de Burgos to have dived in the penalty area."

Madrid won the Supercopa 5-1 on aggregate against Barcelona and opened their league season with a 3-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna in Ronaldo's absence on Saturday.

He will be unavailable for Madrid's upcoming La Liga matches against Valencia, Levante and Real Sociedad as their title defence continues.
