FC Barcelona came very close to going a third match in a row (in all competitions) without the slightest victory. Saved by Ronaldo Araujo this Saturday against Girona (2-1, 9th day of La Liga), the Blaugrana club will nevertheless have to do without Hansi Flick during the upcoming Clasico. The German coach lost his temper and was sent off.
It was in the last minutes of the match that the tactician literally pulled the pin. According to his own explanations, Flick was very unhappy with the behavior of some of his players, in particular that of Frenkie De Jong who came to discuss with the referee when the latter announced additional time which was obviously not to the Dutchman's liking.
Hansi Flick then got annoyed and showed it with lots of sweeping gestures and windmills. The referee then felt targeted and produced the yellow card. But this irritated the German even more who ended up receiving a second toast, synonymous with exclusion. Enough to automatically deprive him of the Clasico which will be held on Sunday October 26 (4:15 p.m.).

But the matter was not completely over. Because at the moment of Araujo's winning goal, Hansi Flick was at the entrance to the tunnel leading to the locker room and became agitated again, almost angrily. So much so that he started giving two arms of honor while looking at the field. But to whom?
As reported by L'Équipe, the coach assured that these gestures were not aimed ” person “ especially. The sports site added that the referee did not mention the scene in his report.
