Real Madrid coach Zidane: Ronaldo? I'm annoyed. We're all annoyed

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits he's "annoyed" over the five match ban for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was sent off for a second yellow card in the Supercopa first leg against Barcelona, and his ban was extended to five games after a push on the referee as he left the field.

"I am annoyed, we are annoyed," he began.

"I do not want to interfere with referees, but when you look at happened and to think that Cristiano will not play for five games, there is something wrong.

"Five games it is a lot."

It has been suggested that the club will appeal but the Frenchman was unsure as to the current state of play.

"I don't know the situation," he continued.

"We will wait until the committee meets tomorrow [Wednesday] and then we will see."
