Barca stars want four-game ban for Cristiano Ronaldo after kick and punch

Barca stars want four-game ban for Cristiano Ronaldo after kick and punch

Most of the Barcelona players were unable to see Cristiano Ronaldo's act of aggression in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Cordoba until they arrived home from the exhibition in Elche. During the journey home the stories of the incident reached them, but they had to see the images themselves to assess what had happened.

Therefore it wasn't until they were able to watch the Portuguese's punch and kick on television that they were able to draw a conclusion. Some of the Barca players watched what the Ballon d'Or winner did on Saturday night; others not until they woke up on Sunday morning.

After the initial surprise of seeing Cristiano so frustrated and wound up, the Blaugrana players were more or less unanimous in their opinions: "He deserves at least a four match ban".

Most of them are remember that the Madrid No7 has got in trouble for this type of thing before and feel that it is important to take action in order to prevent it happening again in the future. They believe the best way to eradicate this type of behaviour is to make an example by dishing out a ban.

However, they are aware that the referees report plays down the incidents which actually occurred on the pitch in Cordoba.

It will not be until Wednesday, when the league meet to decide the punishment, that we will know how long Ronaldo will be banned for. The Barcelona dressing room is not expecting any "big miracles".
