Valverde played a leading role in Real ultimately emerging triumphant over city rivals Atlético, netting his latest goal amid a stellar recent individual stretch of form.

Late in the action at the Bernabéu, however, the 27-year-old was shown a straight red card.

Valverde was responsible for a heavy challenge on Álex Baena, with referee José Luis Munuera having shown little hesitation in producing a red.

Los Blancos’ staff and players were left bemused by the decision, adamant that a yellow card would have been sufficient.

But the sending off stood, leaving the Spanish disciplinary committee with a call to make regarding Valverde’s punishment.

As per a report from COPE:

‘The Competition Committee has imposed a one-match suspension on Fede Valverde following his sending-off in last Sunday’s Madrid derby.’
