"He picked up two back-to-back yellow cards in quick succession, which would mean that the Barcelona manager will not be available at the touchline when the Catalans take on Real Madrid next weekend. This comes as a huge blow for Barcelona, especially at a time when Flick's tactical expertise and ability to motivate players could be useful against Real Madrid."
"According to RAC1, Barcelona are set to file an appeal against the second yellow card that led to Flick's expulsion against Girona. The Catalan club will present formal allegations to the Competition Committee in an attempt to rescind the second booking, which would allow Flick to return to the touchline for next weekend's El Clasico. Flick was shown his first yellow card for sarcastically applauding a referee's decision during the game, and his second came moments later when he protested against the four minutes"
Flick received two quick yellow cards and was expelled at the end of Barcelona's victory over Girona, which risks ruling him out of next weekend's El Clasico. Barcelona plan to appeal the second booking to the Competition Committee in hopes of rescinding it and allowing Flick to take his place on the touchline against Real Madrid. The first yellow came after sarcastic applause at a referee decision; the second followed protests about four minutes of added time despite stoppages and substitutions. If the suspension stands, assistant Marcus Sorg would take charge on the touchline, with a possibility that Thiago Alcantara could also appear alongside him.
