Real said the Committee had imposed a fine of 60.1 euros on the club for the
incident in accordance with Federation rules.
The sending off was Beckham's third since joining Real in 2003 and the sixth
in his career.
Earlier this month he became the first England player to be sent off twice
when he was dismissed in a World Cup qualifier against Austria.
Real's Danish midfielder Thomas Gravesen was given also given a straight red
card in the Valencia match for a reckless challenge on winger Vicente, but the
club did not appeal against that decision.
Real have been highly critical of refereeing decisions that have gone against
them this season and came close to asking for last month's 1-0 defeat against
Espanyol to be annulled because of what they said was a refereeing error but
they withdrew their threat at the last minute.
