“Barcelona” team coach Xavi was surprised to hear the decision of the Spanish federation.

Country's football officials decided to revoke the red card given to Madrid's “Real” forward Vinicius, which was shown in a match full of racist incidents against the “Valencia” team.

According to the specialist, the Brazilian should have remained punished.

“I am surprised that the red card was revoked for Vinicius. After all, we cannot deny that there was aggression there.

My position on racism is clear, but I think the red card was not related to that,” - said Xavi.
