"In a bitter blow for FC Barcelona, it has been officially confirmed that manager Hansi Flick will not be in the dugout for Sunday's crucial match against Real Madrid due to a one-match suspension. Flick was sent off by referee Gil Manzano this past weekend during Barça's late 2-1 win over Girona at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. The Blaugrana protested the decision and, as confirmed by president Joan Laporta, had lodged an appeal to get the manager's red card rescinded."
""It is appropriate to dismiss the request to nullify the double booking that is the subject of this appeal," part of the statement read. "Consequently, it is decided to uphold the disciplinary consequences arising from the expulsion of Mr. Hans-Dieter Flick, proceeding with the imposition of a one-match suspension as provided for in Article 120 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code, along with the corresponding additional fines in accordance with Article 52.""
Hansi Flick has been suspended for one match and will not be on the bench for Barcelona's upcoming game against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Flick received a red card after two yellow cards in quick succession during Barcelona's late 2-1 win over Girona at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, following a sending-off by referee Gil Manzano. Barcelona lodged an appeal, as confirmed by president Joan Laporta, but the RFEF rejected the appeal and upheld the disciplinary consequences. The RFEF cited Article 120 of its Disciplinary Code and additional fines under Article 52. Assistant coach Marcus Sorg is expected to take charge for the Clasico.
