Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has been banned for four matches after he was sent off in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup for insulting a linesman.
The Spain international apologised on Twitter for his behaviour, but denied using insulting language.
Barcelona drew the match 1-1, but lost 5-1 on aggregate.
The club have not yet decided whether to lodge an appeal against the ban.
Barcelona begin their bid for a sixth La Liga title in eight years at Bilbao on Sunday.
Pique is certain to miss that match and Barcelona's game at title rivals Atletico Madrid on 12 September.
