As expected, FC Barcelona will have to fight to emerge unscathed from their group of death in the Champions League, currently dominated by Bayern Munich (9 points) and Inter Milan (6 points).
After flying over the debates for a half before losing in Bavaria last month (2-0), the Catalans are the big losers (with 3 points on the clock) of the third day of C1, after another defeat Tuesday at San Siro (1-0).
Xavi had a hard time accepting two contentious refereeing decisions during this shock: Pedri's equalizer refused due to a preliminary hand from Ansu Fati (67th), then the penalty, which seemed obvious, after a hand of Denzel Dumfries in full surface (90th).
Despite the presence of the VAR, the Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic did not change his position on these two facts of the game having turned in the direction of Inter.

“We have the feeling that there has been a great injustice, explains the Catalan coach.
I can't hide it, I'm outraged because it's a big injustice.
I think it's the referee who should come and explain.
We don't understand what he did.
“There is no doubt that the Parisian supporters, still traumatized by Deniz Aytekin, will go through this cold anger of Xavi on a loop this Wednesday.
