"Referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez detailed two specific instances of tardiness in his match report. The first instance was that the match began six minutes late, a delay attributed to Athletic Club players remaining in the dressing room. Meanwhile, the restart at half-time was delayed by three minutes, this time due to Hansi Flick's side arriving late to the pitch."
"Repeating the offence could be costly However, repeating the same delay in another game this season may have serious ramifications for both clubs. As per the report, if Barcelona repeat this offence, the club will face a fine of up to €3,000. But more worryingly, a repeat offence is considered an "improper action by the head coach," which would result in an automatic suspension of 1 to 3 matches for Hansi Flick."
RFEF has issued formal warnings to Barcelona and Athletic Club for unjustifiable delays to the match start and halftime. The match began six minutes late because Athletic Club players remained in the dressing room. The second delay saw a three-minute late restart after Barcelona arrived late to the pitch. The Competition Committee issued warnings without penalties. Repeating the offense may lead to a fine of up to €3,000 for Barcelona. A repeat offense would be treated as an improper action by the head coach and could trigger a 1-3 match suspension for Hansi Flick. Flick currently avoids punishment but must prevent recurrence.
