Hot-headed Suarez to miss Copa del Rey final
Picked up second yellow card in club career
Posted Wednesday, February 08, 2017 by Marca.com
Barcelona striker Luis Suarez will take no part in the Copa Del Rey final after seeing red during the side's 3-2 aggregate win over Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou.
The 32-year-old turned from hero to zero after opening the scoring moments before the break to hand his side the advantage before being given his marching orders for two yellow cards in quick succession.
Suarez, who in the past, has made a name for himself for his bad behaviour, was cautioned in the 87th minute with a second foul in as many minutes proving to be the final straw after his forearm caught the back of Saul Niguez's head whilst contesting for a header.
As such, the Uruguayan will have to make do with a seat on the sidelines with what was just the second yellow card in his club career.
It's a different story for Lionel Messi, though, who escaped suspension after finishing the match without a single booking whilst Neymar is also set to return to the squad after serving his suspension.
