Three-game ban for Robert Lewandowski for his expulsion against Osasuna.
The Polish forward saw the red card for a double yellow card in the last league match before the break and before leaving the pitch he touched his nose with his index finger.
This gesture, in Poland, alludes to the cockiness or arrogance with which Jesús Gil Manzano, referee of the match, addressed him.
The Competition Committee has determined this Wednesday that Lewandowski will miss Barcelona's next three games: the derby against Espanyol with which he closes 2022 and the clashes against Atlético de Madrid and Betis.
Sensitive drop for Xavi's men, who will not be able to count on the top scorer in the League, with 13 goals.
Gerard Piqué was also sent off at El Sadar and has received a four-game ban, which he will no longer serve because he has retired from football.
In what was his last game as a professional, the match report reflected that the defender addressed Gil Manzano in the following terms: “You are the referee who has screwed us the most.
He's a fucking shame, I shit on your fucking mother!"
