Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez was furious after been sent off for telling the referee that he was allowing play to go despite Getafe players getting away with so many fouls. He also complained about the standard of refereeing in the Spanish league.
Xavi called the match a disgrace after the referee called a supposed penalty a handball at the late minutes of the game.
Barcelona star winger Raphinha was also sent off in a frustrating scoreless draw in their 2023/2024 league opener against Getafe. It was a frustrating night for the Brazilian as he faced several brutal tackles from the Getafe backline.
Earlier in the first half, he was involved in a little argument which resulted to him receiving a yellow card. Few minutes later he took out his opponent after failing to control himself and the referee had no choice but to show him a red card.
News coming in today has stated that both Xavi and Raphinha will be suspended for two games. They will both miss the home game against Cadiz and the away trip to the Estadi de la Cerà mica.
