Barcelona ace Neymar is OUT of the El Clasico at Real Madrid.

Neymar will miss the Clasico after being slapped with a three match ban, reports Sport.

The Brazilian forward was sent off for two yellow card offences against Malaga and will miss two extra matches for his sarcastic applause of the fourth official, on top of the one game automatic ban.

Referee Jesus Gil Manzano included the incident in his post-match report and the Brazilian has paid a heavy price for his decision to clap the official while walking into the tunnel.

As well as the Clasico on April 23, he misses the home matches against Real Sociedad on April 15 and Osasuna on April 26.

Barcelona are likely to appeal against the decision.
