Xavi Laments Refereeing Decisions: Claims Fair Calls Could Yield Six More Points for Barcelona
Expressing his frustration with recent refereeing decisions, Xavi conveyed to the media, “With fair refereeing calls, we should have 6 more points in the table.”
Highlighting specific instances, he remarked, “We should have beaten Getafe, a clear penalty in Vallecas that nobody mentions, Joao Felix’s goal in Granada.” Xavi believes these overlooked incidents have directly impacted Barcelona’s position in the league.
However, acknowledging the uncontrollable nature of such situations, Xavi lamented, “But nobody talks about this. We can’t do anything about it, but keep working.”
The article delves into the hypothetical scenario where these contested decisions favored Barcelona, suggesting that the additional six points would place them third in La Liga, just two points behind leaders Girona and one point behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
The piece also touches on the recent controversy in Madrid during Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Almeria, where VAR decisions appeared to favor Los Blancos. This adds to the broader discourse on the impact of refereeing decisions on the competitive landscape of La Liga.
