The Polish striker will miss the derby against Espanyol, the tough visit to Atlético and the tough duel against Betis at Villamarín
Major setback for Barca. Robert Lewandowski has been penalized three matches by the Competition Committee, one for the double yellow he saw against Osasuna in El Sadar and two more for the gesture he made towards Jesús Gil Manzano, touching his nose, which has been considered as inconsiderate to the referee of the match.
The Polish striker, an indisputable benchmark of the Barça attack, will leave his team without any of his credentials in a very demanding part of the season in which, after the break in the club competition for the World Cup in Qatar, Xavi’s team will go the always hot Barcelona derby against Espanyol, visit Atlético at the Metropolitano, one of the most complicated journeys in the league, then tackle the demanding match against Betis at Benito Villamarín.
He is not the only culé to be penalized after the important but achieved victory in Pamplona, but he is the only one that will have real consequences, as the already retired Gerard Piqué Competition imposes four matches for “insults, verbal fouls and abusive attitudes”. against Gil Manzano, the one he approached when the players and referee retreated to the dressing room at half-time and the one who, according to the match report, already offended in the tunnel.
