Hot match between Emery and Xavi

The Villarreal and Barcelona benches experienced a hot clash at La Cerámica. The controversy action of Piqué, very protested by the Submarine, was the origin of a discussion that started with the hands of the Barça center-back and ended beyond the final whistle.

It all started when Emery, through the monitor, saw the action of Piqué repeated. At that moment, the yellow technician raised his voice and protested to everyone. From there, both benches glances and protests were exchanged throughout the crash.

The situation became more tense when Imanol Idiakez, second to Emery, turned to Xavi as soon as the match ended. The Barça coach, before the reprimand from the Villarreal bench, shook his head on several occasions. In the tunnel, the risque phrases were repeated. The brawl ended when the Police asked the two teams to vacate the tunnel so that the referee could access his changing room.

Both Xavi and Emery buried the controversy as soon as the clash ended, despite living a hot duel. Both have not thrown any darts in the press room and Xavi has commented that he respected Villarreal a lot. The party official did not reflect anything in the minutes, any incidents.
