Real led the game 2-1 until the middle of the second half of the game, but lost a point to Ferran Torres in the 39th minute of the second half to lead the game to extra time. Then, in the 11th minute of the second half of extra time, he gave the winning goal to Jules Kounde and collapsed. The defeat frustrated all of Real's championship challenges this season except for the league championship.
The problem wasn't just the result of the game. Real received a red card at the end of the second half of extra time when defender Antonio Rudiger protested the referee's decision. At the time, Rudiger even threw things off the bench and tried to rush to the ground when Burgos referee declared Kylian Mbappe's foul. The players stopped him, but Rudiger looked excited and swore at the referee. After that, he had to leave the bench due to an order to leave.
Rudiger wasn't the end. Lucas Vazquez was also declared off in the process of protesting the referee, and Jude Bellingham was sent off for running at the referee in an aggressive manner, according to the referee's report.

Marka said 'Rudiger is open to severe punishment. Real Madrid players and staff stopped Rudiger, preventing a big accident, but there is a possibility of severe disciplinary action.
The BBC also shared a shocking level of disciplinary action. If the BBC is sanctioned under Article 101, which stipulates 'light violence against referees', Rudiger may be suspended from four to 12 games. However, if his actions are deemed more serious, Article 104, which deals with assault on referees, states that a player can be suspended for three to six months if the actions are a single act and have not had detrimental consequences. 'If the act is deemed to have caused serious danger even if the referee does not take medical action, the suspension can be extended from six months to one year', he said, explaining that it can be suspended for up to a year.

Meanwhile, Real made the Spanish soccer community noisy ahead of the match due to the referee assignment. Real did not participate in press conferences, training and official photoshoots before the Copa del Rey final, because of the referee's allocation. In the Copa del Rey final, Ricardo de Burgos even made a video criticizing him, claiming that he was the referee who ruled against Real. Later, when Brugos held a press conference, Real refuted this and missed all the pre-final events, sparking controversy.
