Barcelona’s forward, Neymar has been handed a three-game ban, the Spanish federation said on Tuesday.
The suspension will see the Brazillian superstar miss a huge La Liga clash at Real Madrid on April 23.
Neymar was booked on Saturday when Barcelona lost 2-0 to Malaga.
He was handed an extra two-match suspension on top of the automatic one-game ban for sarcastically applauding the officials as he left the pitch.
“I think the interpretation of the yellow cards is special,” said Barcelona boss Luis Enrique after the game.
“We have to be very careful in some games because there were some ugly challenges from behind that went unpunished and tying boots was.”
