The Real Madrid star has hit out at the sanction, which was issued after he laid his hands on a match official against Barcelona.

He wrote in Portuguese:

Impossível ficar imune a esta situação, 5 jogos!! Parece-me exagerado e ridículo, isto chama-se perseguição! Obrigado aos meus companheiros pelo apoio e aos adeptos!!!

Which means these in English:

"Impossible to be immune to this situation, 5 games !! It seems to me exaggerated and ridiculous, this is called persecution! Thanks to my teammates for the support and the fans" !!!
