Xavi faces a possible suspension for their upcoming match against Real Madrid.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez might miss their upcoming El Clásico clash against Real Madrid due to a potential three-game suspension.

Xavi was ejected during the first half of their recent 3-0 victory over Atletico Madrid for arguing with the referee.

He initially received a yellow card for his complaints but was sent off shortly after for continuing to express his frustrations on the sidelines.

While a standard red card typically results in a two-match ban, reports suggest Xavi could face an additional game suspension as this is his second red card of the season.

If the three-game suspension is enforced, Xavi would be forced to watch the highly anticipated El Clásico match against Real Madrid on April 21st from the stands.
