Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was fined €15,000 ($17,900) on Tuesday for calling a referee a "liar" following a Spanish league match this season.
The Spanish football federation took the decision after the Catalan coach doubted Clos Gomez's work during a 2-2 draw against Almeria in March.
Guardiola was sent to the stands during the match in Almeria and said later "I understand the decision but if we appeal it then it means (they) are liars. They lie and they know it."
Barcelona, which won its second straight league title, has 10 days to appeal the fine.
