Xavi asks the referee to explain the decision to withdraw Lewandowski's red card

Pedri and Raphinha were Barca's saviors in the second half. In the decisive phase, Frenkie de Jong sent the long ball excellently for Raphinha to escape and hit Osasuna's net.

"The red card in my opinion is a bit harsh," Xavi told reporters. "What I say doesn't matter. The most meaningful opinion is that of the referee, who will say nothing today. I think he should come out and explain his decision because we could lose a lot from those decisions."

Barca has overcome difficulties to firmly build the top of the La Liga rankings after Real Madrid lost to Rayo Vallecano in this round. However, the main striker Lewandowski will face a suspension in the next match.

This is also the last match of Barca this November. The national championships will take a break to make room for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Barca will play again with the Catalan derby against Espanyol on December 31. From now until then, the mentality of Barca players will be pushed up very high when they already have 5 points more than Real.
