FC Barcelona: Sports Court confirms 3-game ban for Lewandowski

Already missing against Atlético

The three-game ban against world footballer Robert Lewandowski from FC Barcelona has been confirmed by the Spanish Sports Court TAD. This was said by a Barça spokesman on request on Wednesday after several Spanish media reported unanimously. Shortly before New Year’s Eve, Lewandowski’s ban was temporarily suspended and the striker was surprisingly able to play in the 1-1 city derby against Espanyol on the last day of last year.

Now the ex-Munich player is already missing his club against Atlético this Sunday, wrote “Mundo Deportivo”, “Marca”, “AS” and “Sport” as well as other media in unison. He will also have to watch the games against Getafe on January 21 or 22 and Girona on January 28 or 29 if FC Barcelona does not appeal the decision again.

Lewandowski saw a yellow-red card after just half an hour in a league game at CA Osasuna in Pamplona on November 8 and was then suspended for three LaLiga games. For him it was the first dismissal after more than nine and a half years. Before that, he had last seen the red card in a Borussia Dortmund shirt on February 9, 2013.

The relatively severe punishment for the ex-Bayern professional is due to the fact that the exceptional striker put his index finger on his nose when leaving the field and then pointed at referee Jesús Gil Manzano, expressing “disapproval of the referee’s decision”. as recorded in the game log. Barça deny this interpretation.
