FC Barcelona won brilliantly in La Liga on the pitch of Deportivo Alavès this Saturday (3-1). A success which allows the Catalans to carry out a great operation with a view to European places and to reassure a Catalan group at its lowest moral level for several days. Xavi, whose departure at the end of the season is confirmed, has also given himself a reprieve thanks to his new nugget: Vitor Roque. Already saving against Osasuna in the league a few days earlier, El Tigrinho did it again against Deportivo just four minutes after his entry.

But while the picture was perfect, the young 18-year-old Brazilian striker was sent off for a second very severe yellow card against him. While the culé club had already cried scandal at the end of the season, the latter launched the major maneuvers this Monday according to the Spanish press. Indeed, an appeal would have been made to the Spanish Football League with videos and supporting evidence to prove that the second yellow card inherited by the former Athletico PR player was not justified. . It remains to be seen what the response of the appeal committee of the Spanish Football League will be.
