As much as he tried to bite his tongue a bit initially,

couldn't help but charge against

's work .

The referee for the duel between Barça and Osasuna at

, from his point of view, was about to condition the final result of the match by conceding the goal of the locals after a possible foul and expelling

for a double yellow card .

A decision this last one that, in the end, would end up causing

to be expelled in the locker room tunnel due to his protests at the end of the first part of the match.

"They have expelled him as a result of the tension. We have felt injustice, we have felt harmed and hence the reaction of Gerard and many of us," the Barcelona coach explained in the press room.

The center-back, who played his last game as a professional at the

, was thus left without options to have minutes in Pamplona, ​​no matter how much Xavi assured that he was going to have him after the break.

"I was going to count on him, yes, but in the end

came out , because

lacked a bit of rhythm, and

had discomfort. Although he pushed, he saw that he couldn't and that's why we had thought of putting to Gerard," he said.

"That thing you whistled, have you seen it? You haven't seen anything," Piqué snapped at Gil Manzano after jumping onto the grass as if propelled by a spring at the end of the first 45 minutes.

When he was about to leave the field of play, he repeated the gesture again looking towards the assistant referee number one and in front of the fourth official".

A gesture that could be expensive, depending on the interpretation of

the same.

"When you see something unfair live, you protest. Gerard's expulsion is something that can happen,"

tried to justify the Barça central defender before the Movistar cameras.

"The first is a foul that has been made repeatedly throughout the game and only gets Robert the card. And in the case of the second, for me, there is no intention," added the Canarian.

"It's a tremendous victory, you have everything against you, refereeing decisions, the rival's goal... But the team has overcome and that speaks very well of their character. I'm very proud of the team. It's a golden victory", Xavi sentenced in the El Sadar press room.
