Fair expulsion? Gavi went to the street in injury time due to a double yellow

The FC Barcelona left of the stadium Do Dragao with three points of gold after a suffered victory in front of the Port wine (0-1), but the celebration culé saw blurred by which can be two sensitive drops of face to the next day of Champions. After the injury of Robert Lewandowski happened the half hour of game, the Barça also regretted the expulsion of Gavi when it contested the third minute of the time added.

The mediocentro had been admonished in the minute 36, just after the entry of Ferran by 'Lewy', product of an agarrón on Wendell. Anthony Taylor already had taken out yellow to Joao Cancel, Joao Félix and Ronald Araújo, by which the Barça left to the rest with four apercibidos. In the complement, the English referee continued with his disciplinary rigidity, admonishing to Koundé and Sergi Roberto. In the 90+3', the one of The Palaces and Villafranca finish leaving expelled.

Two agarrones cost him the expulsion to Gavi

With the Barça totally replegado in defence, another agarrón of the Andalusian to the same Wendell, just in front of the main, finish sending to the '6' culé to the street. Certainly, it treated of a played that Taylor could have left happen, but the referee decided to expel to Gavi by accumulation of faults during the 90 minutes. This is an appearance that the Andalusian has to improve, since in LaLiga also adds 3 yellow in the first nine days.

In this regard, Xavi Hernández subtracted responsibility to the '6' by the expulsion. "It has been an exception, was controlling very well, think that with us has improved a lot. I think that it has been for clearing the balloon, the referee could have saved the expulsion", argued Xavi. To the not to treat of a red direct, the mediocentro only will lose a party.
