SPAIN Laliga news update 1/24

Barcelona's Sandro Rosell calls on RFEF to follow FA's example and punish Real Madrid's Pepe

The Blaugrana chief says that the Portuguese defender should be subject to reprimand like Balotelli as the City striker is facing a four-game ban for a similar action


Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has called on the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to follow the example of England's Football Association (FA) and punish Real Madrid's Pepe for his stamp on Lionel Messi.

Rosell's remarks come just hours after Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli was charged with violent conduct after he appeared to catch Scott Parker's head with his foot during his side's 3-2 Premier League victory over Tottenham on Sunday.

"It would be good if we could follow the example of countries like England," Rosell told Punto Pelota.

"When someone goes through a red light, they must be punished, even if the pedestrian who could have been run over does not denounce them."

Earlier on Monday, RFEF president Alfredo Florez stated that Pepe's action during Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Barca in the first-leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals will be analysed on Wednesday. - http://www.goal.com/
