Barcelona react to news Nacho’s ban has been reduced ahead of El Clasico

Real Madrid defender Nacho has seen his ban for a red card reduced from three games to two ahead of El Clasico.

Nacho was sent off for a wild tackle on Portu that resulted in a deserved sending off. The defender was initially handed a three-match ban but that’s now been reduced to two games on appeal.

The upshot is that Nacho will only have to sit out their next game against Sevilla and will be available for El Clasico.

Barcelona, predictably, aren’t at all happy with the development but aren’t too shocked by the update either.
