The suspension will sideline Bernal for four La Liga matches as Real Betis looks to recover from a heavy loss to the Catalan giants over the weekend. The disciplinary decision came after the midfielder's sending off during the encounter at the Camp Nou.
Bernal's absence represents a significant blow to Real Betis as the club navigates a challenging period in the Spanish top flight. The midfielder has been a regular fixture in the club's midfield but will now miss a substantial portion of upcoming fixtures.
The four-game ban is one of the standard suspensions issued by the RFEF for red card offences in La Liga. Real Betis will be forced to adjust their tactical setup during Bernal's absence, with manager Manuel Pellegrini needing to find alternative midfield options for the upcoming matches.
