It was explained that Neymar, who received a red card against "Malaga", will have to miss three "La Liga" championship matches.
For this offense, the Brazilian had to miss only one game, but referee Gil Manzano reported ironic comments made by the sniper against the fourth official.
Because of this episode, the Spanish Football Federation decided to give the 25-year-old footballer an additional two-match suspension.
This means that Neymar will not appear in matches against San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad", Pamplona's "Osasuna", and in the upcoming "El Clasico" showdown against Madrid's "Real".
Barcelona club will appeal to a special committee meeting on Wednesday - the Catalan team plans to argue that the player did not deserve an additional punishment for the ironic gesture.
Neymar is an essential part of the "La Liga" champions - this season out of 31 team matches, he played 26.
