Barcelona head coach Xavi slammed the performance of referee Istvan Kovacs in his side’s 4-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
The La Liga champions entered the clash holding a 3-2 advantage from the first leg, and they moved 4-2 ahead in the tie when Raphinha netted in the 12th minute of the game at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
However, Ronald Araujo was shown a controversial red card in the 29th minute for a perceived foul on Bradley Barcola, and PSG then went on to score four times, including a double from Kylian Mbappe, to record a 4-1 win on the night and progress to the final four with a 6-4 aggregate success.
