The sentence was expected, and it fell: Ángel Correa received five suspension games after her expulsion in the match against Getafe, announced Marca. The sanction, pronounced by the disciplinary committee of the Spanish Football Federation, includes four games for insulting referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernández and a match for the red card received in the 88th minute, originally insulting, after a dangerous tackle on Djené. Although the Argentinian risked up to 12 games according to article 99 of the disciplinary code, the committee applied the minimum sanction, without taking into account its public apology.
Consequently, Correa will miss several key meetings, including those of Liga against FC Barcelona, Espanyol, Seville and Valladolid, as well as the return semi-final of the Copa del Rey against Barça. After the meeting, the attacker had expressed his regrets via a message of apology addressed to the referee, his teammates and the supporters, recognizing an inappropriate reaction under the frustration.
