Barcelona received 1-0 from Osasuna in the first minutes of the match. When he went out in search of a tie in El Sadar, the situation of the Barça team was complicated due to the expulsion of Robert Lewandowski.
At 31′, during a dispute for the ball, the Polish striker hit David García who was left on the pitch. Instantly, the referee considered the attacker’s aggression and took out the second yellow card.
The sanction caused annoyance in the Barça player who complained to the judge. However, after his protests, he had to withdraw from the field.
It is important to mention that Robert Lewandowski received his first warning after 11 minutes for an offense against Lucas Torró. Now, Xavi Hernández will have to rethink the team and look for a tie with 10 men.
