With this event, it was precisely the VAR that decided to intervene in the action where FC Barcelona claimed a handball in the area. However, the VAR did not signal anything either and fury was unleashed on the bench, who demanded a clear handball.

What did Xavi do at the press conference?

The coach showed his obvious anger with the rival's action and for this reason he challenged the referee to explain what happened. "I am too upset, that can not happen, the referee must give explanations urgently," said Xavi Hernandez.
