Barcelona defender Gerard Pique will miss the first four matches of the new season for abusing match officials in the European champions' Spanish Super Cup defeat to Athletic Bilbao. Pique was sent off in the second leg of the tie, which ended 1-1, for insulting a linesman.
According to the referee's report, Pique seriously insulted the linesman using abusive language. However, Pique insisted he did not use the language alleged by the referee. "I want to apologise because the attitude with which I protested to the linesman wasn't correct," he wrote on his Twitter account. "However, at no moment did I use any type of insult towards him."
