Xavi isn’t really known for his short temper. But this time, even he ended up cracking up on Tuesday night. Defeated by Inter Milan (1-0) at Meazza, the Barça coach could not contain his anger and his incomprehension in additional time when the referee of the meeting decided not to award a penalty to his own for a rather blatant hand from Denzel Dumfries in the box. The video assistance, which reviewed the action for a long time, did not wish to call Mr. Vincic back in front of the screen located at the edge of the lawn.

“I’m indignant and pissed off, we don’t understand anything anymoreXavi railed at the microphones of the Spanish media after the meeting. Referees should speak and explain themselves. It is an injustice. They go away and say nothing, I’m really indignant. The referee canceled a goal to Pedri for the same hand shortly before, it’s incomprehensible” Same feeling for Sergio Roberto, who talks about “shame“after this episode.”He denies us a goal for a hand to deny a penalty with exactly the same“, he regretted.
With only three points on the clock, Barça is already back to the wall in this C1 campaign. The second leg against Inter next week will be decisive. “We have three finals left.“warned Xavi at a press conference a little later, barely recovered from what he called again”a real scandal“.
