Zinedine Zidane 'annoyed' by Ronaldo's five-match ban


Zinedine Zidane is left "annoyed" for Cristiano Ronaldo's lengthy suspension for pushing the referee in Real Madrid's first leg win over Barcelona on Sunday's Supercopa de Espana final.

Ronaldo was substituted on in 60th minutes of the game, and scored put Madrid back in front in the 80th minute but was shown a yellow card for taking off his shirt to celebrate. 

The Portuguese star was handed a second yellow card before reacting by pushing the official in the back.

The forward's actions have led to a five-match ban, and Zidane has acknowledged that he is unhappy with the length of time which the 32-year-old will spend on the sidelines.

Zidane told reporters: "I am annoyed, we are annoyed. I do not want to interfere with referees, but when you look at happened and to think that Cristiano will not play for five games, there is something wrong. Five games it is a lot."
