A Spanish news report stated that "there are harsh penalties awaiting Xavi Hernandez, the head coach of Barcelona, following their elimination from the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League yesterday, after losing 1-4 to Paris Saint-Germain. Xavi was sent off in the 56th minute of the match due to excessive emotion, but he decided to return to the pitch after the game ended and reprimanded the referee. The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' said: 'Returning to the pitch and confronting the referee specifically could lead to an increase in the penalty Xavi received.' It added: 'The disciplinary committee of UEFA is very strict in dealing with these types of actions.' The newspaper noted that the punishment will not be announced in the coming days, and it may be revealed within two weeks."
