Neymar suspended for second leg of Copa semi-final against Atletico

sport.es

As expected, Atletico Madrid's game against Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday was fiery and intense. 

The referee seemed to have a lack of consistency, though, when it came to handing out bookings and the big loser in that regard was Neymar.

Neymar was battered by Atletico players throughout the night, taking advantage of the official's leniency. 

However, he was not so kind on the Brazilian and booked him when jumping with Juanfran for a header in the second period. 

As a result, he will now miss the second leg at Camp Nou next week -- incredilble. 

 

The good news, though, is that he will be available for the final if the Blaugrana can qualify for the May event.
