Laliga: Xavi Could Miss El Classico Next Month

Sharing is caring




Xavi Hernandez could be banned from the touch lines for three matches after his second red card of the season in LaLiga.


The Barcelona Manager was sent off in the first half of their 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid last weekend for dissent.


The former Spain midfielder was initially shown a yellow card for his protests, but was dismissed minutes later after by referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez after continuing to vent on the touchline.


In theory, Xavi will only get a two-match suspension for his straight sending-off.


However, Diario Sport reports that due to this being the second incidence where he received a red card, he could be given an extra match ban by the league for being a repeat offender.

If Xavi does miss three games, he would not be on the dugout when Barcelona take on Real Madrid on April 21.
