Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman handed two-game touchline ban

Ronald Koeman has been handed a two-match touchline ban after being sent off during Barcelona’s 0-0 La Liga draw with Cadiz on Thursday.

The Dutch coach will therefore not be on the bench for Barcelona’s next two La Liga outings against Levante at the Camp Nou on Sunday and Atletico Madrid on Saturday, October 2.

Koeman moaned about the red card decision after the match which came after a second ball had appeared on the pitch in the closing minutes of the goalless draw.

“It’s better not to speak about that because if everyone sees a second ball on the pitch except (the ref), it speaks for itself,” he said.
