Neymar misses Clasico after being slapped with three game ban!

The Barcelona star is out for the games against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Osasuna

He was sent off against Malaga and given an extra ban for sarcastically applauding the fourth official

Neymar will miss the Clasico after being slapped with a three match ban.

The Brazilian forward was sent off for two yellow card offences against Malaga and will miss two extra matches for his sarcastic applause of the fourth official, on top of the one game automatic ban.

Referee Jesus Gil Manzano included the incident in his post-match report and the Brazilian has paid a heavy price for his decision to clap the official while walking into the tunnel.

Barcelona lost the game 2-0 and it damaged their title bid severely.

As well as the Clasico on April 23, he misses the home matches against Real Sociedad on April 15 and Osasuna on April 26.

Barcelona are likely to appeal against the decision.
