Hansi Flick speaks out on his two-match ban for Barcelona red card

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick will not be on the touchline for the final two matches of the year as his two-game suspension due to his red card against Real Betis will stand after the club’s appeal was dismissed earlier this week.

The footage makes it pretty obvious that Flick did absolutely nothing to deserve a caution of any kind, but the coach still decided to take responsibility and accept his ban when he was asked about the situation in a press conference on Friday.

But Flick also made a point to ask for the referees to show the same accountability when they are perceived to make mistakes.
