The Spanish Football Federation: Real Betis midfielder Facundo Bernal has been handed a four-match suspension for headbutting Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal during his team's 5-2 home defeat in La Liga on Saturday.

The Spanish Football Federation's (RFEF) Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday imposed the ban after Bernal was sent off following a confrontation with Yamal shortly after Betis had equalised at 2-2.
