Sergio Ramos Faces Suspension for El Clasico After Bust-Up With Diego Simeone

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is at risk of being suspended for the upcoming clash with Barcelona if he is found guilty of verbally abusing Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone.

During Saturday's tame Madrid derby, the pair appeared to clash shortly before the half-time break, with Simeone left incensed as he appealed to the referee to punish Ramos. Nothing was made of the situation, but Simeone was told to calm down or risk being sent to the stands.

As noted by Marca, Simeone was caught screaming at the linesman to ask why Ramos had been allowed to get away with making a derogatory comment about his mother.
