Xavi: Controversial Referee Brings Bitter Defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League

When referee Istvan Kovacs' controversial decision changed the course of the match, Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona coach, looked angry and frustrated. He did not hesitate to express his dissatisfaction with decisions that he felt significantly influenced the final outcome of the match.

However, a more surprising reaction came from Barcelona's goalkeeping coach, Jose Ramon de la Fuente, who was eventually fired because he lost his cool in such a tense situation. This underlines how much pressure the entire Barcelona team felt at that critical moment.

On the other side of the field, Luis Enrique, PSG coach, showed a different reaction. Even though the situation heated up and the referee's decision became the main debate, Enrique refused to get involved in polemics about the referee.

He prefers to focus on his team's performance and ensures his players remain focused and confident. Luis Enrique's calm and focused attitude may have been one of the keys to PSG's success in this match.

For Barcelona, ​​this defeat was not only a failure in reaching the next round, but also a deep emotional blow.
