The Royal Spanish Football Federation has imposed sanctions on Ernesto Valverde, head coach of Athletic Bilbao, and the team's goalkeeper, Alex Padilla. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Marca, Valverde and Padilla were sent off during the third round of La Liga in the match against Betis (2:1).
As a result, the head coach will miss four games due to his protest against the referee and disrespectful behavior. The goalkeeper will miss three games for throwing the ball from the bench onto the field.
Following the third round, Bilbao is currently in second place in the La Liga standings with 9 points. Last season, the team finished in fourth place.
This reflects their successful performance in the current season.
