Xavi was particularly upset because Ronald Araújo was sent off midway through the first half. At that point, the Catalans were leading 1-0 and, with their 3-2 win in the first leg, had good chances of reaching the semi-finals.
Xavi later said of his defense chief’s emergency brake against PSG striker Bradley Barcola: “We are upset and angry because the sending off decided this pairing. With eleven men we were in a good position. It’s too hard to have one in this game Show a red card.”
Being outnumbered, it was “very difficult” against Paris Saint-Germain, said the ex-professional, before complaining: “It’s a shame that the work of the season was ruined by an unnecessary sending off. The referee was very bad. I I told him he was a disaster. I don’t like to talk about referees, but it’s a symbol of this season and that needs to be said.”
