Real Madrid CF have appealed against the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body's decision earlier this week to reject the Spanish club's protests in relation to the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between Madrid and FC Barcelona on 27 April.
The protests lodged by Real Madrid, which were rejected, were against the behaviour of Barcelona players during the match, and against the red card shown to Madrid defender Pepe.
The UEFA Appeals Body hearing on this case is scheduled to take place on Monday 16 May.
