Real Madrid have lost their appeal against the two-match suspension handed to Cristiano Ronaldo following his red card against Malaga.
Spanish daily Marca confirmed today that the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Appeal Committee had ruled against the Blancos.
The three members of the committee, Joseph Matthew Diaz, Pedro Garcia Perez and Francisco Rubio Sanchez dismissed Real Madrid’s request to have the red card rescinded and confirmed the decision would be upheld.
The case stems from an incident during last week’s match between Real and Malaga at the Bernabeu, when Ronaldo was shown a straight red card for swinging an elbow at Patrick Mtiliga. The clash left the Malaga man with a broken nose.
'CR9' has maintained all week that there was absolutely no intent to injure the player and that he was simply trying to break away from the defender, who was pulling him back.
Los Blancos will now have to take their arguments to Spain's Sporting Disciplinary Committee (CEDD) if they wish to pursue the case further.

After the match, I took to Facebook and Twitter again to get some fan reaction. Lets take a look at what our readers have to say:
Joel Peeperkoorn feels that Arsenal should rest their big guns in the second leg, saying: “There's no way we can beat Milan by five goals."
Jez Cook, however, takes a different perspective, singing himself back to positivity: “FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ....FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ...FIVE FOUR - just keep repeating it.”
Well, you have to admire his fighting spirit...

Stat time again, folks, as we can reveal that tonight is Milan's biggest ever win the Champions League, while it is Arsenal's biggest ever loss in the competition!
Incidentally, no team has ever progressed in Europe after losing the first leg by such a heavy deficit.
