Pique’s Yellow Card Collection Increased from Last Year

DBasia.news –   Gerard Pique has been booked so often this season. Up to this point, the number of Pique yellow cards has increased twice from the previous season.

Pique was given a yellow card when Barcelona won 2-1 over Levante in the Spanish League on Monday (3/2/2020) early morning Western Indonesian Time ago. Pique was booked for having violated Borja Mayoral. That is the 10th yellow card for Pique in the Spanish League this season. Together with Mubarak Wakaso (Deportivo Alaves) and Damian Suarez (Getafe), Pique is the player with the most yellow card in the 2019/2020 Spanish League. In total, Pique has 14 yellow cards in 27 matches in all competitions. That number is relatively high compared to last season.  

Recorded by Sport, Pique received seven yellow cards from 52 matches in all competitions in 2018/2019. That means the number of Pique yellow cards this season has doubled compared to last season. Of the 14 yellow cards, 12 of them obtained Pique for violations. While the remaining two are yellow cards for protesting. That number could even increase if Pique gets a yellow card after dropping Alvaro Morata when Barcelona went to Atletico Madrid headquarters, last December 2019. But the referee decided not to punish Pique at the time.

In the Champions League, Pique had three yellow cards and was banned from playing against Borussia Dortmund last November. While in the Spanish League, Pique was suspended when Barcelona faced Eibar in October 2019 after getting a fifth yellow card. Due to a yellow card against Levante, Pique will be absent when Barcelona travel to the Real Betis headquarters on Monday (02/10/2020) early morning Western Indonesian Time.
