Suarez denied place in Cup final after pivotal role - Football


BARCELONA (Reuters) - Luis Suarez was incredulous after being sent off in Barcelona's thrilling King's Cup semi-final second leg with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, ruling him out of the final in May after playing a pivotal role in getting his team there. Suarez was left livid when he was shown a second yellow card in the 90th minute for striking Atletico midfielder Koke in the face as he fought for an aerial ball. "I'm laughing at that second yellow card, it's not even a foul," Suarez told Gol TV after being sent off for Barca for the first time since joining the club from Liverpool in 2014. Suarez was forced off with a hamstring injury in the second half of last year's Cup final, a 2-0 defeat of Sevilla, but will play no part at all in the May showpiece against either Celta Vigo or Alaves. "It frustrates me when players on my team miss finals, but at the end of the day it's something which happens in football.
