Mourinho and Ronaldo given two-match bans

Outgoing Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been handed a two-match ban by the Spanish Football Federation,following his sending off during the finals of the Copa Del Rey match against Atletico Madrid last week.
In an ill-fated Madrid derby match, Mourinho was given the matching orders by the referee,for reacting furiously when the official awarded a free kick to Atletico with around 15 minutes remaining at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid went on to lose the game by 2-1,making it their first loss to Atletico since October 1999,and it unearthed more the problem between Mourinho and his players.
Cristiano Ronaldo as well got two-match ban for the red card he got in the game as well,after a dangerous play against an Atletico Madrid player.
Interestingly,if Mourinho completes the expected switch to Chelsea in the summer,he will serve the ban in the first two FA Cup games of the 2013/14 campaign,unless the English FA decides to waive it .
