Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman lamented a red card for Gerard Pique in their 5-1 Champions League Group G victory over Ferencvaros yesterday morning (Singapore time) that will keep the experienced defender out of next week's trip to Juventus.

Pique was sent off by Swiss referee Sandro Scharer with 22 minutes to go after blatantly pulling back the jersey of Ferencvaros attacker Tokmac Nguen in the box after he had been well beaten for pace.
