Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is again feeling let down by management.

Pique, reports Don Balon, has been left stunned that Barca chose not to appeal his yellow card received in the win over Leganes last weekend. The booking sees the defender suspended for the looming clash with Valencia.

Pique was convinced he had a good chance of the decision being overturned on appeal - so making him available for the Los Che test.

However, Barca chose not to pursue an appeal, seeing it as a waste of time. There is also frustration inside the board room over the manner of Pique's booking.

The decision has left Pique upset and feeling let down by the board - not for the first time this year.
