Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski could be banned for three games
Lewandowski was sent off for two bookings in the win over Osasuna
Robert Lewandowski's red card against Osasuna could come with a three-game ban due to a gesture he made when he left the pitch.
The striker was visibly angry to be shown a second yellow card and touched his nose with his index figure in a symbol that in Poland alludes to arrogance, in this case in reference to the referee, Jesus Gil Manzano.

Lewandowski's second ever red card will see him banned v Espanyol
According to COPE, Lewandowski's actions could bring a three-match ban for the Barça No. 9.
Gil Manzano wrote in his report: "Once sent off and as he was leaving the pitch, the player twice made a gesture in disapproval of the decision (...) then pointing towards the referee."
The three games would consist of one of the dismissal and two more if the discipline committee consider his gesture of disrespect towards the officials worthy of further sanction.
