Xavi: We deserved to win and what happened is a shame!

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez confirmed that his team deserved to beat Getafe, noting that what happened during the match was a shame. “I don’t see a handball at all,” Xavi said. “If it’s not a clear handball, it should not be whistled. That is what they told us at the referee’s meeting this week. “We tried in every way, but we weren’t able [to score],” Xavi added. “I think we deserved to win, but it wasn’t enough. It is a shame. He continued: “I told the referee that they were allowing many mistakes. In the meeting that took place with La Liga, they said that they would better understand the tension that the coaches suffer from, but … it is no longer important.” About Getafe, he commented: “They were wasting time and interrupting the game. This is their style of playing football, which is normal.” He pointed out: “The match was violent because the referee allowed them to foul us. For us, they call everything, but they allow them to do anything they want. We're selling La Liga as a product but this is what we have,” Xavi said in the post-match presser." The referee sent me off for telling him that there were too many fouls. They allow them to foul way too much,” he added. “This is a complete shame. We need effective time in football. We’re making a fool of ourselves.”
“The other day, in the meeting with the referees, they told us that they will try to protect us as managers. But no, they’re doing exactly the opposite of what they said they would do,” he further said.
