Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez to miss Copa del Rey final

Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez are due to miss the Copa del Rey final against either Celta Vigo or Alaves after being sent off at Camp Nou against Atletico.

Barcelona had Lionel Messi, Samuel Umtiti and Jordi Alba as risks given each of them just needed one yellow card to miss the final.

They made it out of the clash without being punished, but red cards for Sergi Roberto and Suarez were unexpected and unwelcome.

The former was booked in minute 20 and then again in minute 57, after fouling Filipe Luis, a foul deserving of a second yellow. A bitter end to his 25th birthday.

Then Suarez followed suit after tangling with Koke, although he did not look like he had done much wrong and Barcelona will appeal the decision.
