Xavi: ‘I’m angry about what we went through, the referee has to explain it’
Xavi was furious with referee Vincic after the game for not handing the penalty to Dumfries in the 90th minute and stressed that the referee needed to explain his decision.
Xavi Hernandez was furious with the refereeing decisions and in particular with the penalty that was not awarded to Dumfries in the 90s, which he also expressed in his statements after the 1-0 defeat by Inter in Meazza.
Among other things, the Barcelona coach said that it was a clear violation for him, while the referee had to explain his decision.
What Xavi said in detail about the arbitration: “I am outraged by the situation we had to live in. It’s an injustice. I said yesterday that the referees have to explain that. We do not understand anything.
The referee should speak. I shouldn’t talk about a decision I haven’t made. For me the hand is very clear. The referee must make an explanation. He spoke of an earlier phase and I spoke of the last. That’s why I think it’s unfair. In the end we were better, but it wasn’t enough“.
