Spain – The Spanish Football League Competitions Committee announced that Polish FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski will be suspended for only one match, and therefore he will be available to participate in the upcoming El Clásico match.
Lewandowski received a yellow card in the final minutes of the Las Palmas match, which Barcelona won with an unanswered goal last Saturday in the 30th round of the Spanish League. The Polish player would have been automatically suspended for one match due to the accumulation of yellow cards (five cards).
However, in recent days, Spanish newspapers have indicated that Lewandowski may be subject to a two-match suspension if it is confirmed that he intentionally received a yellow card in the Las Palmas match in order to attend the El Clásico match against Real Madrid with a record free of warnings.
After a state of controversy, the Spanish Football League Competitions Committee issued a decision on Wednesday stating that Lewandowski will only miss Cadiz’s next match in the 31st round of the league.
The Polish striker will therefore be available to play the El Clásico match against Real Madrid, scheduled to be held on April 21, at the top of the 32nd round of “La Liga.”
It is noteworthy that the regulations of the Spanish Federation stipulate the imposition of a suspension penalty for an additional match if a player deliberately receives a yellow card for missing a specific match, which is something that some have demanded in the case of Lewandowski, especially since the match that comes after Cadiz is El Clásico against Real Madrid.
