Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez has come out to say that he is outraged at the refereeing injustices after two handball decisions went against his side in Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League defeat to Inter Milan. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the referees have to come out and explain themselves after yesterday’s decisions, because he still doesn’t understand why his team was denied a penalty kick when the handball was glaring.
Xavi added that he needs referees to grant interviews after matches because coaches can’t be speaking on decisions they don’t make.
His words, “I am angry and indignant about what we have seen, it is an injustice,”
“I said it on Monday and I have to say it again: the referees have to come out and explain themselves because I don’t understand anything.”
“[The referee] didn’t want to give me an explanation after the game. Referees have to speak; I can’t speak about a decision I have not made. For me, [the decisions were] crystal clear. I don’t understand it at all.”
“If you are asking how I am, I am outraged,”
“I don’t understand anything. If Ansu handballs it [involuntarily] but someone else then scores, it’s a goal. And they disallowed it.”
“As for the other one [Dumfries’ possible handball]… I just do not understand. It’s an injustice, I can’t hide it. The referees have to speak.”
