While his team won brilliantly on the Alavés pitch (1-3), the Spanish coach, Xavi, did not mince his words at a press conference after the meeting during which Vitor Roque scored again . He had already given FC Barcelona victory against Osasuna in the middle of the week (0-1) and thus made a dream debut under his new colors. Ultimately too involved, the young Brazilian striker was sent off for a second yellow card in the 72nd minute of play. This angered Xavi.
“The expulsion is very unfair. What happened to Vitor Roque was a blatant mistake and we will appeal the yellow card. The expulsion is very unfair. I already said it in Getafe on the first day, I think we are paying for Negreira. That’s what I think, but I won’t talk about referees, ever again. If I don’t, they’ll end up killing me; but what else could I say? A lie ?”fumed the Catalan coach.
