World Sports: Real Madrid did not appeal Lunin’s red card to the appeals committee and will fulfill the suspension penalty

The Spanish media "World Sports" reported that Real Madrid did not appeal to the appeals committee for Lunin's red card and will serve the suspension penalty in the game against Valencia.

In last week's El Clasico, Lunin was sent off with a red card, and then on Wednesday, the disciplinary committee imposed a one-match ban on him. The penalty was based on referee Soto Grado's match report, which described Lunin leaving the bench at the end of the game after seeing a red card and being aggressive and needing to be stopped by his teammates.

The Disciplinary Committee found that Lunin's behavior violated sportsmanship, but the circumstances were minor, so it only imposed a one-game suspension. Real Madrid could have appealed to the grievance committee before last Thursday and requested that the matter be resolved before this round of games, or even apply to the Court of Arbitration for Sport for interim measures, as they did with Huizen's red card against Real Sociedad.

However, this time Real Madrid did not take any action. Although the club denied the aggressive behavior in the report in its complaint to the disciplinary committee and highlighted Lunin's good attitude as substitute goalkeeper: "The club points out that there are clear errors in the referee's report, as video evidence shows that the alleged violation does not exist and that the player's behavior does not match the description in the report. In fact, he only It was an attempt to intervene in the conflict between Ferran Torres and Vinicius in order to restore calm. In addition, this mediation behavior is consistent with his consistent calm and non-aggressive image personally and professionally. Therefore, the club requests that his suspension penalty be lifted."

Therefore, Lunin will serve his suspension penalty in tonight's game against Valencia. It is worth noting that Lunin has not played in La Liga and the Champions League so far this season, nor has he appeared in the Club World Cup.
