This Wednesday will know the decision dl Committee of Competition with regard to the corresponding sanctions to the day 29 of the League 2023-24. Between them it finds the punishment to the that confronts Xavi Hernández for having seen the red card in the Metropolitan the past Sunday in front of the Athletic of Madrid, although this Tuesday has known that the FC Barcelona already has presented a resource with the intention that to the egarense was him withdrawn the red direct.

The idea of the Barcelona entity, as it explains 'Sportive World', is that this red direct become a yellow and as it already had been admonished a pair of minutes before, in this case the trainer of the Barça only would lose a party. And if this did not go possible and went punished with two parties, already has prepared the allegations so that it was not penalised with a third party by reincidente.

The Barça has clear that Xavi has to be yes or yes in front of the Madrid

And it is that in this last stage, for Xavi peligraría the Classical, remembering that the Barça will visit Santiago Bernabéu inside three days and by the moment Xavi confronts to not being in front of The Palms and Cadiz. "I am very pasional, gesticulo a lot, live like this the parties. For me the expulsion is unfair", said Xavi in press conference after the Athletic-Barça, remembering besides that his reincidencia would be by the red that saw in the day 1 in field of the Getafe.

But the process in which the Barça expects that Xavi fulfil only a party, or maximum two, bases in that there are precedents that invite to think to that Xavi if it will be able to be in front of the Madrid. One of the cases is of Michel that saw two red direct the past season 2022-23 in front of Betis and Barça and always was sanctioned with two parties. Neither it sanctioned with a third party by reincidencia to other technicians like Luis García Square or Francisco.
