Spanish giants, FC Barcelona will have to cope without the services of center back, Gerard Pique for their next three games.
The towering defender had been slammed with a four-ban after he verbally assaulted a linesman during Barca’s 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao.
The European champions had appealed the decision as they hoped the ban will be suspended or at least reduced.
The Spanish authorities have now ruled out the appeal while upholding the ban. Pique has missed a game already due to the ban and will now miss three more.
The Spaniard will now miss the next three games against Malaga, Atletico Madrid, and Levante.
