Ángel Correa, the Atlético de Madrid forward, is facing a possible lengthy suspension following his direct red card against Getafe due to a reckless tackle on Djené and insulting the referee, Guillermo Cuadra Fernández.

According to the official match report from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Correa verbally insulted the referee after receiving the red card, shouting multiple slurs.

Possible Suspension for Correa

📌 Article 99 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code states that a player who insults or offends a referee can receive a suspension of 4 to 12 matches, depending on the severity of the offense.

📌 The dangerous challenge that led to the red card could further increase the punishment.
