"He's been a disaster" - Xavi Hernandez blames referee for Barcelona's Champions League exit

Barcelona’s wait for a sixth Champions League crown goes on, as they fell to a quarter-final defeat against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. The Catalans held a 3-2 lead going into the second leg, but went on to lose 4-1 at the Estadi Olimpic, which ensured a 6-4 defeat on aggregate.

The match, and tie, changed completely when Ronald Araujo was sent off for an adjudged last man challenge on Bradley Barcola in the first half. At that point, Barcelona were 1-0 up (4-2 on aggregate), and head coach Xavi Hernandez singled out that moment as the major flash point in Montjuic, as per Diario AS.

“We are upset. I think the incident with Araujo decided the tie. Up until that point, we were well organised. That play affected the entire match.”
