The Competition Committee has rejected the allegations of FC Barcelona so that the second yellow card he saw was removed Victor Roque against Alavés and which led to his expulsion. The sanctioning body states that the club’s documentation, basically the video of the play, “fails to demonstrate that the existence of a manifest material error” of Juan Martínez Munuera, the match referee, so he punishes with a party to sanction Vitor Roque due to yellow accumulation.
With similar words the committee ignores Girona’s allegations in favor of Daley Blind, who saw the fifth yellow card for protesting referee Jesús Gil Manzano, which prevents the Dutch defender from playing this Saturday against Real Madrid. He also sanctions Yangel Herrera, who also saw the fifth, and imposes of the suspension parties to Míchel Sánchez, the Girona coach, who was sent off for angrily protesting a referee’s decision.
Girona will not appeal the sanction before the Appeal Committee. Barça does plan to do it, dissatisfied with the disciplinary decision.

The Competition Committee explains Barça’s allegations in its resolution: “There is no doubt that the cautioned player did not carry out the action that was recorded in the minutes. The repeated viewing of the images, in short, has not allowed “This committee will conclude beyond any doubt that the action did not occur as described by the referee and, ultimately, prove the manifest material error of the referee’s report.”
“There is no doubt that the cautioned player did not carry out the action that was recorded in the minutes”
Just a dispute
Martínez Munuera wrote in the minutes that he showed the yellow card to Vitor Roque “for striking an opponent’s leg with his foot in a reckless manner”, although the “recklessness” is not observed in that The alleged kick does not have a high degree of recklessness nor is it thoughtless nor is it a risky action. It’s just a set of the game, a simple dispute for the ball. Barça, however, has not been able to prove the veracity of the Valencian referee’s description in the opinion of the committee.
Barça announces that it will present an appeal to the Appeals Committee, the next instance, which will give its ruling in one or two days. Finally, there would be the option of requesting the precautionary suspension of the punishment so that he could play against Granada. Xavi Hernández only has two forwards available: Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. Raphinha, Ferran Torres and João Félix are injured. Raphinha, however, could be recovered to play his cousins minutes after a month of absence due to a muscle tear.
