Xavi set to receive ban for red card during Barcelona’s win over Atletico

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is set to receive another touchline ban for his red card during Sunday’s 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

Xavi talked himself into trouble yet again on Sunday night, earning himself a red card for dissent after haranguing the match official.

The sending off is likely to result in Xavi being sanctioned with a two-match ban which will see him miss the games against Las Palmas and Cadiz, according to Mundo Deportivo.

However, Diario Sport reckon there’s also a chance he gets an extra game, as he’s a repeat offender, which would see him banned for El Clasico.
