In Endrik's case, this red card was particularly costly. It is taken for granted that he will leave Real Madrid and move to Lyon He is on loan in the early days of the winter transfer window and faces a two-match ban, meaning he will play again in La Liga before heading to France.
Dani Carvajal could also be punished
Carreras narrowly misses a two-match ban and Garcia a one-match ban under La Liga's suspension rules. The trio may not be the only Real Madrid players to be sanctioned by the Spanish Football Federation's Disciplinary Committee, as the referee's report also contains comments made by Dani Carvajal towards referee Quintero Gonzalez.

Carvajal is alleged to have told Quintero Gonzalez, “This is the standard you set and then go cry at the press conference,” which refers to press conference before the final match of the Spanish Cup which made Real Madrid furious and risked boycotting the match against Barcelona.
According to RFEF rules, Carvajal was not eligible for a sporting sanction, although this would not have made much difference as he was injured for another month. However, he will most likely be fined.
