Jules Kounde snatched a goal in the closing stages of extra-time as Barcelona sealed a 3-2 win over rivals Real Madrid at Seville’s La Cartuja stadium.

Tempers boiled over following the final whistle as Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez, both on the bench after being substituted earlier, received red cards from referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoechea for dissent from the sidelines, while Bellingham was also sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The match report from De Burgos stated that Rudiger “threw an object from the coaching area that didn’t reach me,” adding that the Madrid defender displayed “an aggressive attitude.”

Rudiger was held back by Madrid players and staff while he held a small bag of ice and continued to shout at De Burgos.

He has since issued an apology for his behaviour on social media.

“There’s definitely no excuse for my behaviour last night. I’m very sorry for that,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.

“We played a very good game from the 2nd half on – After 111 minutes I was not able to help my team anymore and before the final whistle I did a mistake.

“Sorry again to the referee and to everyone I have disappointed last night.”
