The coach of the Barça team spoke to the media after the draw in Vallecas.
FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández complained towards the end of the match in Vallecas, where the Catalans drew 1-1 against Rayo Vallecano, about a possible penalty on Raphinha.
“Punishment for Rafinha? Then tell me what I’m looking for apologies, but it is a clear punishment. We have no luck with these decisions, the actions they have to interpret come out as tails. We came straight because we weren’t good in the first half, but if you ask me…”, the Barça coach said in the press room.
The afternoon’s controversy in Vallecas came about 94 minutes into the match, with the score tied at one. Raphinha fell inside the area and all of Barcelona asked for a penalty. The Brazilian was hit by ‘Pacha’ Espino as he tried to cut away a deep ball from Gündogan, but there was nothing for Munuera Montero or the VAR, who did not call the match referee.
