🚨 TAD rejects appeal, Flick to miss El Clásico | OneFootball

Hansi Flick will not be on the bench at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday for the Clásico against Real Madrid. The Sports Arbitration Tribunal (TD) has dismissed the appeal filed by Barcelona to obtain a provisional suspension.

After receiving negative verdicts from both the Competition and Appeals Committees, the Sports Arbitration Tribunal was Barça’s last option to prevent the coach from serving a one-match ban after being sent off against Girona.

Flick was sent off against Girona last week for “applauding one of my decisions in protest,” according to referee Gil Manzano.

Although Flick explained that the applause was meant for his team, the club has not managed to provide sufficient evidence to overturn or even postpone the suspension. 

It will be Flick’s assistant, Marcus Sorg, who will speak to the media ahead of the Clásico.
