       (CNN)Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for five games following
       his red card in Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over rival Barcelona,
       the Spanish Football Federation confirmed Monday.
       The forward received two yellow cards in this season's first El
       Clasico, the first after removing his shirt to celebrate
       scoring, and the second for supposedly diving in the Barcelona
       box.
       On top of the one-game ban for the red card, Ronaldo will miss
       four further games for pushing referee Ricardo De Burgos
       Bengoetxea as he left the field. Real has 10 days to appeal the
       ban.
       Ronaldo had quite the eventful game Sunday, scoring a stunning
       goal, celebrating topless, and then the red card -- all in just
       23 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute.

       Madrid wins despite Ronaldo red
       The hotly-contested Spanish Super Cup clash, which pitted last
       season's La Liga champions against the winners of the Copa del
       Rey, had four goals in an action-packed second half.
       Gerard Pique slid Marcelo's cross into his own net to give
       Madrid the lead.
       Ronaldo got on the scoresheet when he curled a left-footed shot
       past Marc-André ter Stegen shortly after Lionel Messi had
       equalized from the penalty spot for the hosts.

       The Portuguese was subsequently booked for taking his top off --
       supposedly mimicking a Messi celebration from last season's El
       Clasico -- and minutes later received a second yellow when he
       was adjudged to have dived in the Barcelona penalty area.
       "We played a great game but I am annoyed by Cristiano's
       sending-off," said Real coach Zinedine Zidane.
       "Perhaps it wasn't a penalty but the red card is a little
       harsh."
       A superb 25-yard strike from Marco Asensio ensures Madrid goes
       into Wednesday's second leg at the Bernabéu with a two-goal
       advantage.
       Neymar finds his feet
       While Barcelona adjusts to life without Neymar, the Brazilian
       took little time getting acclimatized to France's Ligue 1 as he
       made his much-anticipated debut for Paris-Saint Germain.
       He was instrumental in PSG's 3-0 victory away at Guingamp,
       feeding Edison Cavani with a precise chip for his side's second
       goal before tapping in for a score of his own in the closing
       stages.
       There was speculation over whether Neymar would be eligible to
       make his debut so soon after his $263 million world record
       transfer.

       The striker, watched on by his father, showed few signs that he
       was struggling to make himself at home in France.
       He had six shots and completed 88 passes, as well as throwing in
       the trademark flicks and tricks that have come to define his
       game.
       PSG is looking to regain the French crown from AS Monaco having
       enjoyed a reign of four-straight victories before finishing
       runner-up last season.

       Late drama sees Lazio triumph
       Elsewhere in Europe, Lazio survived a late scare to beat
       Juventus 3-2 to claim the Italian Super Cup.
       Paulo Dybala scored in the 84th and 91st minutes to draw the
       Bianconeri level after a brace from Ciro Immobile had given
       Lazio the advantage.

       There was more drama to come, however, as moments before the
       final whistle, Alessandro Murgia calmly turned in a cross from
       Jordan Lukaku.
       Juventus, Champions League finalist and winner of Serie A for
       the past six seasons, was chasing an eighth Super Cup title, but
       substitute Murgia's late, late finish helped Lazio add to
       victory in last season's Coppa Italia in dramatic style.

       "I am struggling to keep a lid on my emotions," said goalscorer
       Immobile.
       "I cried at the end of the game, because this team gave
       absolutely everything and the fans deserved this trophy."
