After the incident in Barcelos, where Luis Suárez broke a glass door at the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, the main question now concerns the consequences the player may face. The Sporting striker is not at risk of a match suspension, but is expected to be fined.

The case is now being analyzed based on the Disciplinary Regulations of the Portuguese Football Federation, the body overseen by Pedro Proença. The Colombian striker’s behavior was deemed reprehensible, but not violent.

The expectation is that the player will only receive a punishment that may range between the minimum and maximum amounts stipulated by the regulations. It is estimated that the fine will be between a few hundred and a few thousand euros, depending on the final decision of the disciplinary bodies.

The damage was reported to the League delegates, especially since it occurred in an area where several people were present. It should be recalled that after the final whistle, there was a huge commotion on the pitch, with Tiago Aguiar, Rui Borges’ assistant, getting into a disagreement with Rodrigo Fernandes, César Peixoto’s assistant.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárezvalued at 22 million euros – has played 27 matches: 17 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 2,019 minutes he has been on the pitch, the striker has scored 19 goals and provided three assists.
