(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."
