Pique Receives Two-Month Ban After Referee Row

Former Spain and Barcelona star Gerard Pique has been handed a two‑month suspension by the Spanish football federation after an argument with a referee during FC Andorra’s 1‑0 loss to Albacete.

In a dispute that unfolded after FC Andorra’s defeat, referee Alonso de Ena Wolf cited Pique for threatening remarks, prompting the federation’s disciplinary committee to impose a two‑month ban for “notorious and public acts that undermine sporting dignity.” The same report also suspended club president Ferran Vilaseca for four months and sporting director Jaume Nogues. syntagm.co.za
