Sanse goalkeeper Xabi Irureta has criticised Real Madrid starlet Rodrygo Goes for reacting "like a brat" after he was sent off while playing for the Spanish giants' Castilla side on Sunday.

Rodrygo, 19, hasn't featured in La Liga since January 26 and has been omitted from Zinedine Zidane's last four matchday squads in Spain's top flight. His suspension means he'll be unavailable for Sunday's Clasico clash at home to Barcelona:

The teenager scored Real's second as the Castilla team beat San Sebastian de los Reyes 2-0 at home but was then shown a second yellow for celebrating excessively in the face of opposition goalkeeper Irureta.
