Joao Félix was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in the space of ten seconds against Athletic Bilbao.

Joao Félix was sent off with the second yellow card for addressing the referee of the match against Athletic Club, Jesús Gil Manzano, “with his index finger on his temple as a sign of disagreement after being cautioned,” according to the collegiate recorded in the minutes.

The Portuguese international entered the field after 60 minutes and saw two yellows for a ‘burst’, at 79 minutes, first for hitting an opponent in the face, in a disputed move.

Then the cameras picked up quite clearly that the player said “you are crazy” to the referee up to three consecutive times. Hence, picking up his second yellow card in the same minute.

Though yet to be verified in the arbitration act, the Portuguese could be spared a more serious sanction. However, it is clear that Joao Félix will not be able to play next Tuesday against Getafe and his sanction is pending to go through the Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation, which will meet in the next few days for matchday 6.
