El Clasico assistant referee suspended for having friendly conversation with Barca players

El Clasico assistant referee has been suspended for two weeks after being too friendly with Barcelona players.

Pau Norbert Cebrian Devis joked in the tunnel that leads the locker room to the pitch with Messi and his teammates.

Spanish radio station Cadena SER say that Pau Norbert Cebrian Devis was ‘reprimanded for his conduct’ after the investigation by the refereeing committee disapproved of his actions at Camp Nou.

Real Madrid fumed at a number of decisions given against them during the 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp.

Real Madrid did not make an official complaint but criticised the refereeing publicly as pro-Real Madrid media had also complained of the legitimacy of the main referee before the match.

Pau Norbert Cebrian Devis was not assigned to a game this week and will also sit out next weekend.
