Following Barcelona's Copa Del Rey fixture with Athletic Club on Thursday evening, the Referee's Technical Committee will meet on Monday to assess whether comments made from Gerard Pique after the game were worthy of a sanction.
Comparing the referee's performance to that of a casino roulette, Pique may have used words that could incur a punishment, though it seems more likely that the disciplinary action will be a fine rather than a suspension from game time.
his can be backed up by the examples of cases such as Eduardo Berizzo, Gus Poyet and Quique Setien, where similar offences were met with punishment by fine rather than suspension.
This is not the first time Pique has been involved in such a situation, after he was scrutinised by the Referee's Committee about statements made about referee Velasco Carbello in 2012.
However, on that occasion, the decision was made after an investigation for the case to be closed.
