Xavi Hernández has showed since it arrived to the FC Barcelona that lives all the parties from the band with special intensity.

By the contrary, a lot of referees seem to have a distinct regulation for the egarense and carry him with a very short limit in the party, as evidenció this Sunday in front of the Athletic.

Any protest of Xavi during the parties seems to understand like the continuity of what has done in another moment of the season and no judges him by the context of the present, in which really it can be justified his disagreement, like sucedió in front of the colchoneros with a fault of Ilkay Gündogan that really was not such. But it go, that little can do a champion of the world if the referee is decided in that no question him any decision.

Already regarding the distribution of the cards, the Catalan trainer already adds 15 yellow until the moment in League. Besides, it received four in the Glass of Rey, two in Champions and one in Europe League, showing that the intensity of the technician of the Barça also is to continental level. To these cautions add also the red that saw the Catalan in the day 1 of the current League in front of the Getafe and the expulsion of this Sunday in the Metropolitan, one that surely will leave him in the loge by two parties.
