“He could play because it was a youth tournament,”   Emilio Butragueno claimed.

Butragueno is hopeful that Article 41 of the RFEF rulebook could keep Real Madrid in Copa Del Rey.

“There is an article, 41 of the Spanish Football Federation’s Disciplinary Code, it states that the possible sanction will not take effect if the interested party is not notified personally and the player was not notified. That is why Cheryshev was playing.

“We can say little more, tell the truth about what happened, be cautious and careful. We have talked over the course of the night at the club with everyone involved and there is no record”
