Real Madrid played out a dull 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano last night.



But in a match with little incident, Sergio Ramos has still managed to steal the headlines.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone was left fuming after allegedly overhearing the Real captain insult assistant referee Gonzalez Gonzalez.

The incident was not reported by the referee but if Atletico denounce the action then La Liga bosses will be forced to investigate.

A player can be banned for up to four matches if found guilty of abusing an official.

And it means Ramos could miss the upcoming clash with Barcelona in this season’s first El Clasico if found guilty.

The two Spanish giants will go head to head at the Nou Camp on 26 October, with Granada and Real Mallorca to come before in the league.

It will be a huge barometer for both clubs, who have failed to hit the ground running this season.

Real have yet to lose this campaign and find themselves top of the table.

But disappointing draws to the likes of Villarreal and Valladolid have harmed Zinedine Zidane’s reputation at the Bernabeu.

However, matters are worse in Catalonia, with Barcelona having already lost twice this season.

Fans are growing unhappy with Ernesto Valverde, who has struggled to get the best out of new signings Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong.

Regardless, Ramos missing El Clasico would be a huge absentee for Real.

The last high-profile case of someone being banned for abusing the referee was Diego Costa.

The former Chelsea man was sent off in the first half of Atletico’s 2-0 defeat to Barca last season for crude language.

He received an eight-match ban for insulting Jesus Gil Manzano’s mother.
