It made me laugh - Suarez slams referee after Atletico expulsion

The Uruguayan picked up a second yellow card following an aerial challenge with Koke in the 90th minute of Barca's 1-1 second-leg draw

Luis Suarez slammed the decision to send him off in a tense cup tie after Barcelona held off Atletico Madrid to qualify for the Copa del Rey final.

After opening the scoring at Camp Nou on Tuesday, Suarez picked up a second yellow card following an aerial challenge with Atletico's Koke in the 90th minute of Barca's 1-1 second-leg draw.

The result ensured Barca reached the final 3-2 on aggregate, but Suarez will miss the May 27 showpiece, though the Uruguay international hopes the two-time defending champions appeal.
