BARCELONA Boss, Xavi has called out referee Istvan Kovacs for the club's Champions League exit yesterday against Paris Saint-German.
Paris Saint-German had the better end against Barcelona yesterday with a 4-1 win, overturning a 3-2 defeat in the first leg, which means the French giants are into the semi-finals of the game, winning 6-4 on aggregate.
As expected, the match wasn’t a smooth one as Xavi was not happy with the referee's decision to award Ronald Araujo with a red card following a last-man challenge, which shifted the tide to PSG's favour.
Xavi speaking after the match expressed frustration. "I told the referee that he was very poor. It was a disaster," he said, per GFNS.
“The red card ruined the match. I don’t like to talk about referees, but we have to say it. We can’t be silent," he added.
Paris Saint-German into the semifinals will face a tough opponent in German big boys, Dortmund, who took down Atletico Madrid in a 4-2 win and an aggregate of 5-4 to set the stage for April 30, 2024.
