BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona hope to reverse Luis Suarez's suspension from the King's Cup final after launching an appeal against the Uruguayan's second booking in Tuesday's semi-final second leg with Atletico Madrid, the Spanish champions said on Wednesday.

The Cup holders said on www.fcbarcelona.com that they will also appeal Sergio Busquets' yellow card in the game, which finished 1-1 and sealed a 3-2 aggregate victory to put Barca in the King's Cup final for the fourth successive year.
