Starting his coaching career, Xavi made his debut in the AFC Champions League.
The 39-year-old "Barcelona" club legend, leading the "Al Sadd" team, faced "Al Duhail". Xavi's debut in this tournament was marked by a 1:1 draw.
Xavi was particularly dissatisfied with the referee's work in this match, especially towards the end, when the "Al Sadd" team did not receive a possible penalty kick.
Angry after the uncalled penalty, the Catalan threw water bottles nearby and also threw a shoe.
