Javier Mascherano and Andres Iniesta suspended in Copa del Rey

Javier Mascherano and Andres Iniesta will be banned for the start of the Copa del Rey next season. 

The Argentine was sent off for fouling Kevin Gameiro and will miss one game, while Iniesta is also banned for one match for reaching the yellow card limit.

Barcelona should take note, because that's how Denis Cheryshev got suspended while with Villarreal, then playing for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey against Cadiz when suspended.

Los Blancos were subsequently kicked out of the competition which Barcelona went on to win for the 28th time in their history, beating Sevilla on Sunday night.
