The FC Barcelona has not remained satisfied with the sentence of the Committee of Competition on the sanction to Xavi Hernández, the one who was expelled in the visit of the Barcelona club to the Athletic of Madrid in the Cívitas Metropolitan. Sánchez Martínez had showed him double yellow cardboard and aimed in the record abritral that the trainer of Terrassa "made observations of technical character to one of my decisions, voice in cry, making gestures of desconsideración and after having been warned previously by the fourth referee".
In the dispatches blaugrana understand that there are not sufficient resources for a sanction of such magnitude, considering that Xavi would lose two key parties, against The Palms and the Cádiz CF, in the straight more important of the championship and in the previous of the visit to the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu (21 April, 21:00 hours CEST). The juridical services of the Barça already are working and will struggle so that it reduce or delete the sanction in the next days.
The Barça wants to that they raise the sanction
For the Catalans, the images are 'evident' and Xavi does not do any attempt to despise to Sánchez Martínez neither the fourth referee, as it expressed in the referee's record. As they have explained from 'Sportive World', the intention of the Catalans is to present a video in which it show that it did not exist said contempt and can 'go down' the sanction to a yellow. Already they did it in front of Competition, that desistimó the resource, and will touch the door of Appeal.
In case that they take it in consideration, could be present after the stop of selections, when the Barça will receive to The Palms in the estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys of Montjuïc, the day ábado 30 March from the 21:00 hours, and later to visit to the Cádiz. The culés know that it is vital to achieve the six points in the parties to keep in the second square and have options to contest him LaLiga, to the end, to the Real Madrid. For this, see essential that Xavi can be directing the ship from the bench.
Xavi will be in the Classical
What himself is sure is that the trainer egarense will be present in the visit of the culés to Santiago Bernabéu. The crash presents like the big 'final' to see if really they have options to litigate by the championship and the Barça has the 'advantage' that it keeps like the only team of LaLiga that still does not know the defeat to domicile, in front of a Real Madrid that has turned into the only that has not lost home. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti, in fact, only have added a defeat in what it goes of championship and do not have 'fallen' from September of 2023.
