Barca shown under-radar red card v Valencia — sending off pandemic for Xavi & staff continues

Did you know Barcelona received a red card during their 4-2 win against Valencia on Monday night?

Indeed, Barcelona's physical trainer Andres Martín Garci was shown a straight red card by the referee while he was checking VAR for a possible red card for Valencia goalie Mamardashvili.

Explaining why he showed the Barca trainer the red card, the referee said in his minutes: "While on the stairs that give access to the playing field, he addressed me loudly in the following terms: "It's a shame that you have to go to the VAR to see that."

The red to Garcí continues the pandemic of red cards to Xavi and his staff as it is the 14th red card Xavi or a member of his staff has picked up this season.

Xavi alone picked up three red cards this season and 13 yellow cards for dissent and complaints against the referee.
