The Polish striker, who was suspended for three games after an elimination against Osasuna, was able to play again after Madrid’s Number 2 Central Administrative Court granted him the precautionary measure.
More firewood for the controversy sparked by the Catalan derby that pitted Barcelona against Espanyol at Camp Nou last Saturday. The parakeet club has submitted a letter to the Spanish Football Federation (FEF) to contest the match corresponding to the fifteenth day of the competition, which was decided at one o’clock with a draw. The reason used by Espanyol is the possible misalignment of Robert Lewandowski.
The Barça’s Polish striker was handed a three-game ban after being sent off against Osasuna: one for the double yellow he saw in that game on matchday 14 and two for the gesture he made as he left the pitch and pointed a finger at brought the nose and that was taken as a way to despise the referee.
But on the eve of the confrontation with Espanyol, the first for Barça after the break caused by the Qatar World Cup, the Madrid Central Administrative Court number 2 responded to the demands of the Barça club and granted a precautionary measure to the sanction imposed by the TAD, which allowed the striker to jump onto the Camp Nou pitch last Saturday.
Espanyol, who was furious after learning that Lewandowski could play that match, reasons that “before the start of the match, the club in good faith informed both the match referee, Mr. Mateu Lahoz, and the RFEF itself of the presence in the match.” rival eleven of footballer Robert Lewandowski, who had to serve a penalty after his double-yellow exclusion on the previous day of the national championship.
Espanyol believes that Barça’s appeal to ordinary justice to change a sanction of a sporting nature jeopardizes the integrity of the competition, which is why they have lodged their complaints with the FEF to challenge the match. RCD Espanyol, as announced on the eve of the match, will use all available means to defend its interests and those of our fans, aware that this blatant injustice endangers the very essence of our competition and that this injustice continues in a hasty solution and with obvious legal shortcomings,” the Cornellà club said in a statement.
