FC Barcelona defeated Girona with a goal from Ronald Araujo in the 90+3′ minute<\/a>. In a match rained out in Montju\u00efc with many wasted opportunities by both teams, Hansi Flick found a solution by putting Araujo at ‘9’<\/strong>. The coach, however, suffered bad news: he will not be able to manage the Cl\u00e1sico<\/strong> next matchday against Real Madrid<\/strong> due to suspension.<\/p> In the 90th minute, Flick made a verbal complaint to Jes\u00fas Gil Manzano after the added time was confirmed<\/strong>. The Extremaduran referee only added 4 minutes, very little for a second half where both teams made their five substitutions.<\/p> The German couldn’t contain his frustration, and Gil Manzano caught his disapproving gesture. Without hesitation, the head referee, who minutes earlier had overlooked a clear slap to the face of Vitor Reis by Marcus Rashford<\/a> (expulsion and penalty), showed the Bar\u00e7a coach the red card.<\/p> Despite the expulsion, Flick remained at the mouth of the tunnel during added time. After Araujo’s stunning goal, the manager unleashed a euphoric celebration, including a middle finger<\/strong> caught by the cameras that could cost the Heidelberg native a few more matchdays of suspension.<\/p> Hansi is not usually prone to this type of reaction, but the context of the Bar\u00e7a-Girona match was conducive to madness: intense rain in Montju\u00efc, a possible third consecutive setback for Barcelona, and terrible refereeing, as is often the case in LaLiga.<\/p> Well, Flick drained all the emotional charge from a match where Bar\u00e7a could well have gone into halftime losing, with a wild, but justified, celebration. Unfortunately, for the first time since his arrival on the Bar\u00e7a bench, the German will not be able to lead the team in a Cl\u00e1sico<\/strong>.<\/p> For Hansi Flick, Saturday’s match was his second expulsion in LaLiga. Last season, the Bar\u00e7a coach also saw red from referee Alejandro Mu\u00f1iz Ruiz in the match against Betis (2-2)<\/a> played at the Benito Villamar\u00edn.<\/p> In the 65th minute of the match corresponding to matchday 16 of the 24\/25 season, the manager was sent off for protesting a penalty in favor of the ‘verdiblancos’<\/strong>, sanctioned after VAR review.<\/p> On that occasion, Flick complied with the expulsion by going to the television booth area for the rest of the match<\/strong>. Against Girona, as there were only a few minutes left in the match, the German remained on the side of the bench. This factor, along with his celebration after Araujo’s goal, may cost him a more severe sanction.<\/p> Flick Celebrated Araujo’s Goal with a Middle Finger Included<\/h2>
