Crazy scenes: Koeman and Xavi get sent off on the same day

Ronald Koeman is not the only manager picking up a red card on Thursday – Xavi has been sent off too.

The Al Sadd manager hit out at one of the assistant referees while protesting against an offside call.

Just like Koeman's side, Xavi's team lost the game 2-1, losing the top spot in their Asian Champions League group.

As a reminder, Ronald Koeman was forced to leave the pitch in the Granada clash for saying 'what a character!' to one of the assistant referees.

Koeman sent off for saying 'what a character' to match official, set to miss Atletico game

Ronald Koeman has picked up a red card in the Granada clash.

The Dutchman was forced to leave the pitch for his 'what a character!' words towards the fourth official, the match report reads.

The Barca manager won't be able to be on the touchline of the upcoming game against Valencia at Mestalla.

RAC1 claim that the Dutchman is out of the Atletico Madrid clash too.

This is the first red card in Ronald Koeman's managerial career at Barca.

Koeman names exact reason why Barca lost to Granada

"The defeat is mainly due to lack of concentration in defence in the two goals of Granada. You have to intercept the ball on the first goal and leave less space," Ronald Koeman has told Movistar.

"We are disappointed. Starting from tomorrow, we'll look ahead of ourselves and try to win the last five games. This is the same as for the others."

Granada have defeated Barca 2-1 by scoring two late goals. Barcelona are 2 points behind Atletico Madrid with 5 games to go. As a reminder, Blaugrana are yet to play against Diego Simeone's side at Camp Nou.
