Hansi Flick will have to watch Barcelona’s first match in the Champions League for the new season since the stands after receiving a match for his driving in last season’s shock with Inter Milan.
In addition, the players of Barça Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski were both sentenced to a fine for offense after the same match.
UEFA recognized Flick guilty of “violation of decent driving rules”, for which it was sentenced to a fine of € 20,000 and suspended for a UEFA club match.
His assistant Marcus Sorg received the same punishment.
What did Flick hurt?
UEFA has not developed the crime of Flick, but it was vocal after the match in its criticism of referee Szymon Marciniak.
Speaking after the defeat of Barça 4-3 nearby in the return match of their semi-final of the Champions League in San Siro, Flick said: “I think that certain decisions, which were 50/50, were still for Inter, but that’s how it must accept it. It’s football.
“I am proud of my team, we have given everything, and sometimes you have the impression that it is unfair because certain decisions that the referee was not for our side, but that is like that. We have to accept it, and we will start next season again.”
Yamal and Lewandowski were sentenced to a fine of € 5,000 each to “do not comply with the instructions given by the doping control officer” and “not immediately reporting to the doping control station”.
