Barcelona Striker Lewandowski Faces 3-Game La Liga Suspension on Appeal
The Spanish Sports Administrative Court, known as TAD, has reviewed the suspension handed to Robert Lewandowski, the Poland captain who plies his trade for Barcelona. The club confirms the striker intends to appeal the three-match ban that was imposed after the match against Osasuna in La Liga. The appeal process will determine whether Lewandowski can clear the suspension as the case moves through the courts.
Should Barcelona opt not to pursue a further review with the general jurisdiction court, Lewandowski would miss the upcoming fixtures against Atlético Madrid, Getafe, and Girona. The current situation hinges on whether a new application to challenge the ruling is submitted by the club.
The ban is noted as being applicable strictly to La Liga competition, with potential implications for domestic league games while other competitions could be unaffected depending on the court’s interpretation.
Since the appeal was lodged, Lewandowski has already participated in a match that concluded in a draw against Espanyol, signaling a potential temporary adjustment to his ban status while the proceedings continue.
Barcelona sit level with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table after 15 rounds, each collecting 38 points, highlighting the team’s strong domestic form despite the ongoing suspension saga.
In other news, Lionel Messi, the former Barcelona icon, has been speaking about a possible return to the Parc des Princes region at Paris Saint-Germain, adding to a summer of high speculation about player movements and club strategies for the season ahead. The ongoing developments surrounding Lewandowski and Messi are part of a broader narrative about how top clubs navigate disciplinary decisions, legal appeals, and competitive ambitions. news reports and official league communications
