What happened. Real Madrid's new social discipline rules, in force since August 1, have drawn criticism from some club members over clauses they interpret as allowing sanctions for comments about directors or players.

Article 9.7 classifies disrespecting club representatives as a very serious infraction.
Article 10.18 covers acts damaging the club's image or causing serious harm.
