Barca advanced on aggregate. Luis Suarez is hoping an appeal will save him from missing the Spanish King's Cup final after being sent off for Barcelona in a bad-tempered semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Suarez scored Barcelona's goal as three players were dismissed in Tuesday's draw that secured Barca's place in a fourth straight final, on aggregate. However, the Uruguayan - sent off for the first time in three years at Barca - claimed a stray elbow on Koke as the game entered stoppage time wasn't even a foul.
The first yellow was also for the first foul I committed in the game, but you could see it coming. However, it was given a mighty scare by an Atletico side that enjoyed the better of the chances on the night. Yannick Carrasco forced Jasper Cillessen into a fine save after just six minutes before Suarez looked to have killed off the tie just three minutes before halftime.
