RFEF Disciplinary Ruling Bans Hansi Flick for El Clásico at the Bernabéu

The committee upheld the referee’s report after finding Barcelona provided no proof to overturn the double booking.

Overview

  • Hansi Flick received a one-match suspension under article 120 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code, with accessory fines applied via article 52.
  • The decision confirms the Barcelona coach will not be on the bench for Sunday’s match at the Santiago Bernabéu.
  • The ruling maintains the two cautions recorded by referee Jesús Gil Manzano and rejects Barcelona’s claim of an error in the match report.
  • Barcelona is weighing whether to take the case to the Appeals body after the first-instance decision.
  • Broadcast footage showed Flick making gestures after the Girona winner, but the body did not pursue additional sanctions because those actions were not recorded in the report.
