Neymar has been ruled out of El Clasico against Real Madrid. The Brazilian received a one-match ban for the red card against Malaga but the ban was increased by a further two matches after he sarcastically applauded the fourth official. It comes as a blow with Barcelona three points behind their rivals having already played a game more than Los Blancos. Defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu could end their title hopes. (AS)
