Absent from the national derby! Official: Barcelona s appeal is rejected, Flick will still be suspended for one game

22:15, in the 9th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Girona 2-1. In the stoppage time of the game, Flick was dissatisfied with the referee and was sent off after two yellows and one red.

The referee's report showed that Flick first received a yellow card for "expressing protest by clapping", and then received another yellow card for "making a gesture of dissatisfaction". Two yellow cards were turned into one red and he was sent off.

The Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Association stated that if you want to prove that there are obvious factual errors in the match report, you must provide clear and unmistakable evidence that can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the content of the report record does not exist or is obviously arbitrary.

However, Barcelona failed to provide any evidence to prove that Flick did not commit the actions recorded in the match report-the report was formed based on the referee's unique perspective of being at the scene and directly observing the incident.
