UEFA have caused Barcelona 'serious harm' as vice-president defends official complaint after Atletico Madrid upset

Available after UCL ban Pubill will be an option for upcoming games in all competition after being ineligible in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Barcelona.

Impact Pubill has cleared the ban he earned for accumulating yellow cards at the European level, hoping to find consistency in the final rounds of the 2025/26 campaign. He has operated as a center-back lately, racking up multiple clearances in 18 consecutive league or continental appearances, but failing to make an offensive impact during that period. Both Robin Le Normand and Clement Lenglet started midweek and could be pushed to the bench if Pubill returns to the starting lineup in future matchups.

Impact Pubill won't be an option for Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Barcelona after picking his third yellow card in the competition this season. The center-back's absence is a big blow for the Colchoneros since he has been a regular figure in the back line in recent weeks and his absence will force a change in the starting XI. Robin Le Normand is the likely option to step in the back line to replace him against the Blaugranas.

Barcelona Complains to UEFA Over 'Incomprehensible Refereeing' After UCL Loss

Returns Wednesday Pubill (ribs) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Pubill is fit again after battling a rib injury, not fit enough to start, but an option from the bench. He has been more of a starter in the middle of the defense recently and is likely to earn that spot back in the next few games, recording four clean sheets in his 12 appearances (nine starts).

Added to squad list Pubil (ribs) is in the squad list for Wednesday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Pubil was back in training this week, and that looks to be leading the defender to his return, as he is on the traveling squad. This is good news for the club after the loss of Jose Maria Gimenez, as the club adds back some depth in the defense. He started in two of his past three appearances, although he likely will not start if not fully fit in such a crucial match.

Trains ahead of UCL clash Pubill (ribs) returned to team training Monday and is on track for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona, according to Pascual Ruiz Arnal of Marca.

Impact Pubill has been dealing with a ribs injury since weeks and was left out of the Spain squad during the international break, making his return to the training pitch a significant step forward. Getting back into team sessions ahead of the biggest European fixture of Atletico's season is a timely boost for manager Simeone, with David Hancko having been covering in the back line in his absence. Whether Pubill is ready to start against Barcelona or eases back in off the bench will be the key question heading into Wednesday.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined with rib issues Pubill (ribs) remains unavailable and is not yet ready to return, according to El Chiringuito.

Impact Pubill missed the Real Madrid derby and was not called up by Spain during the international break, but the extra recovery time has not been enough to clear him for action just yet. The defender has yet to resume team training and his absence forces Atletico to maintain the same defensive reshuffle that has been in place, with David Hancko covering in his spot and Matteo Ruggeri pushed out to left-back. No timeline has been given for his return, and the club will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not available for derby Pubill (ribs) is not available for Sunday's derby against Real Madrid, according to Carlos Fernandez from Marca.

Impact Pubill is still dealing with rib issues and won't be in the mix for Sunday's derby against Real Madrid. The defender wasn't called up by La Roja over the international break, which should give him a good window to recover and target a return for the first game of April against Barcelona. Until he gets back to full speed, David Hancko is lined up to slide into central defense, which would push Matteo Ruggeri out to cover the left-back spot.

Dealing with ribs problem Pubill remained on the bench during Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Tottenham in the Champions League as he wasn't fully fit to feature due to a ribs problems, according to coach Dieg...

Impact Pubill stayed on the bench in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Spurs while managing a rib issue, despite having started five of the previous seven matches, signaling how cautious coach Diego Simeone was about only using fully fit players for that spot. His absence was noticeable given his recent run in the lineup, and he is expected to be evaluated over the next few days with a massive derby against Real Madrid coming up Sunday. If he is not cleared in time, David Hacnko is in line to step into central defense, which would push Matteo Ruggeri out wide to cover the left-back role.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Clears illness Pubill (illness) was spotted back in full team training on Wednesday, according to Diario AS.

Impact Pubill missed the last match against Betis due to illness but returned to full team training this week and looked sharp, firmly putting himself back in the mix moving forward. The center-back is an undisputed starter when fit, and his return is expected to impact Jose Maria Gimenez's minutes.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled due to illness Pubill is out for Sunday's match against Betis due to an illness, according to his club.

Impact Pubill is not going to be with his team Sunday despite initially lining up in the starting XI, with an illness too much to play through. This leaves Jose Maria Gimenez to start in his place. This still leaves the club with a strong defensive line, with normal rotation expected throughout the defense.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Three interceptions in clean sheet Pubill registered one tackle (zero won), four clearances and three interceptions in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Mallorca.

Impact Pubill was initially introduced to cover for injuries in defense but has since established himself in the back line, missing just one of the last 11 matches, which came in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. He delivered another strong defensive performance in his fourth clean sheet, recording one tackle, three interceptions and four clearances while winning all seven of his duels. Across his last five appearances, Pubill has totaled eight tackles, seven interceptions and 21 clearances.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Another solid outing in defense Pubill generated two tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Girona.

Impact Pubill has continued to deliver strong performances and has been among the team's best players in recent matches. Originally signed as a right-back, he has been used as a center-back in recent games, benefiting from multiple injuries and rotations to secure a place in the starting XI. He has started five of the last six games across all competitions, and in this match, he contributed two tackles, one interception, two clearances and a season-high four blocks, helping secure his second clean sheet with the team.

Impact Pubill has started in his last four appearances for Atletico Madrid and has provided solid value as a center-back. This assist turned out to be a turning point of the game, as he set up Antoine Griezmann's game-winning goal. Pubill should continue to deliver most of his value through defensive stats, though.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong defensive stats in defeat Pubill recorded three tackles (three won), eight clearances and four interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Athletic.

Impact Pubill started his second La Liga game this season and produced impressive defensive stats despite his side suffering a 1-0 defeat. Since coming into the team this year, he has won all five of his tackles, including three in this game. He also made eight clearances and four interceptions in the game.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Standout performance in first start Pubill registered two tackles (two won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 win against Oviedo.

Impact In his first start since joining the team in July, Pubill put in a big defensive display to help secure a clean sheet, recording season high two tackles, five clearances, one block and one interception.
