Although Barcelona won the last league match played in Pamplona (2-1 against Osasuna), Robert Lewandowski did not finish the match on the field, being sent off in the first half.
The Polish forward received a warning in the 11th minute of the game, and 20 minutes later he struck an opponent. The central player handed him a second yellow card and was sent off after the hosts scored 1:0.
The player, brought this summer from Munich “Bayern”, absolutely did not agree with the referee’s decision and, leaving the field, made several gestures with his fingers.
Robert Lewandowski received 3 stages of disqualification
Barcelona’s top goalscorer’s gestures did not go unnoticed as centre-back Gil Manzano recalled the signs made by the 34-year-old in the post-match report.
The Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation sanctioned Robert Lewandowski with 3 stages of suspension: one for two yellow cards and two for gestures after being sent off.
