Antonio Rudiger could be suspended

Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger could face a long-term ban after being caught throwing ice at the referee after the Copa del Rey final. Jules Kunde's extra-time goal gave Barcelona a dramatic 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final; Real Madrid's trio of Antonio Rudiger, Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez were sent off after the final whistle as chaos erupted at Sevilla's La Cartuja stadium.

 The wretched were inflamed after the final whistle as Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez, both on the bench after being substituted earlier, were shown red cards by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoechea for dissent on the touchline, while Bellingham was also sent off for unsporting behaviour.

De Burgos broke down in tears during a press conference on Friday after being asked about the Real Madrid TV footage of him attacking referees. Following De Burgos' interview, Real Madrid cancelled press duties and official training ahead of the final, but later confirmed that the game would still continue.

Pedri put Barça ahead in the 28th minute with a brilliant shot from outside the box into the top corner, but Real Madrid took control in the second half when Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to equalise from a free kick in the 70th minute. Aurelien Chouhaimeni put Real Madrid ahead seven minutes later with a superb strike from a corner, before Ferran Torres equalised in the 84th minute on a counter-attack that sent the game into extra time.

Carlo Ancelotti is "very close" to becoming Brazil's next coach, according to a source. The source told Sky Sports News that talks will continue in May and the Italian is expected to leave Real Madrid next week. Brazilian businessman Diego Fernandez, who is understood to be brokering the move, was photographed by Spanish media at the Copa del Rey final on Saturday. Former Chelsea and Everton manager Ancelotti is being pursued by Brazil after the 2022 World Cup and is believed to be close to appointing him before the 2026 World Cup. Brazil would ideally like Ancelotti to take over before the international break in June. Sky Sports News has contacted the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Real Madrid for comment.
