Pique Receives Two‑Month Ban After Referee Row

Gerard Pique has been handed a two‑month ban by the Spanish football federation after an argument with a referee during FC Andorra’s 1‑0 defeat by Albacete.

Former Spain and Barcelona star Gerard Pique, now co‑owner of FC Andorra, was suspended for two months following a confrontation with referee Alonso de Ena Wolf after a 1‑0 loss to Albacete. The disciplinary committee cited “notorious and public acts that undermine sporting dignity and decorum” based on the referee’s report. afsport.lat
