Barça managed to beat and thrash Atletico Madrid on Sunday, although they had to pay a somewhat high price for that victory after the red card that Xavi has seen, one that also according to the minutes does not seem really deserved

Calendar of FC Barcelona

This Sunday Xavi Hernández went back to show that has reason in one his personal crusades with regard to the difference of criterion regarding what allow the referees of LaLiga to the distinct trainers to the hour to protest. And it is that unlike what lives Diego Simeone in the bench of the Athletic of Madrid, to the that many times allow him a lot of intensity, to the egarense have him a very short limit in this regard, and in the Metropolitan remained more than showed.

On the minute 40 of party, Sánchez Martínez decided that it had had sufficient of the protests of Xavi, the majority of them justified besides, and taught him the red card to the trainer of the Barça, some minutes after having arrived the yellow. However, the record of the referee of the party has not done more than showing that the expulsion of Xavi has arrived more almost by a personal subject with the Barcelona technician that because really it deserved it in this occasion.

A record that seems to support that the expulsion of Xavi was not necessary

"What have said you, what have said you?", it repeated him without stopping Xavi to the fourth referee after seeing the expulsion, his second in addition to the season after the day 1 in front of the Getafe, but is that the cuestionamiento of the Catalan is more than justified if we take into account that in the record the referee indicated that the red showed it due to the fact that Xavi made "observations of technical character to one of my decisions", explains the start of the document.

"Voice in cry, making gestures of desconsideración and after having been warned previously by the fourth referee", prays the rest of the record of Sánchez Martínez, the one who perhaps by reiteration of protests of Xavi has decided that it was sufficient, although really the egarense had not won see the red card. Now, and after the showed by the Committee of Competition, Xavi surely will have to fulfil a sanction of two parties, losing the duels in front of The Palms and Cádiz to be like this and returning just for the Classical in front of the Real Madrid.
