Xavi: "I told the referee that he was a disaster; he marked the tie"

Barcelona said goodbye to the Champions League after losing 1-4 to PSG in Montjuic in a match that was marked by the sending off of Ronald Araujo in the first half when the game was 1-0 in favour of the Catalans.

After the match, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was very critical of the refereeing of Istvan Kovacs, who also sent him off during the second half for protesting one of his decisions.  

"For me it's too much to give Araujo a red card for that play. That's where the tie was decided. It's a play that marks the game and changes everything," said Xavi on the 'Movistar Liga de Campeones' microphones.

"I told him he was a disaster. He didn't understand anything. He has completely marked the tie. It's a shame that the work of a season is finished because of a refereeing decision," coach explained.
