🚨 Red card overturned? Flick decision made ahead of Clásico | OneFootball

Hansi Flick’s outburst in the recent LaLiga match has consequences for the Clásico. After the Barça coach was shown a red card by referee Gil Manzano during the late 2-1 win against Girona at the Estadi, the verdict has now been delivered. 

Flick will not be on the bench for the Clásico against Real Madrid; instead, he has been suspended for one match. 

The Catalans, as confirmed by President Joan Laporta, had previously protested the referee’s decision and filed an appeal to have the red card overturned. However, the protest was unsuccessful. 

The RFEF confirmed that Barcelona’s appeal was rejected. “Consequently, it has been decided to uphold the disciplinary consequences resulting from the expulsion of Mr. Hans-Dieter Flick and to impose a one-match suspension in accordance with Article 120 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code, as well as the corresponding additional fines pursuant to Article 52,” the statement read. 

Could Flick’s suspension in the Clásico be a disadvantage for Barça? What do you think? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
