The ruling by the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee means Bale is to miss Real's top-flight fixtures at Eibar and at home to Real Betis.

Los Merengues visit Eibar this Saturday and host Betis on Sunday 12 March.

Madrid lodged an appeal against the two-game ban in the wake of the committee's decision, but saw their challenge turned down.
