Gerard Piqué gets four-match suspension

The verdict of the Judge of Competition, in application of article 94 of the RFEF’s Disciplinary Code, was announced on Wednesday morning and it is not good news for Gerard Piqué. The central defender has been suspended for four games following his red card in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

FC Barcelona presented its defence on Tuesday, which included the allegation that the player did not address the linesman in the manner described in the report issued by match referee Velasco Carballo after the game.
