- Lewandowski sent off for flying elbow
- Pique dismissed for arguing at half time
- Xavi demands explanation
WHAT HAPPENED? Barcelona came from behind to win a wild match 2-1 against Osasuna, with Pedri and Raphinha saving the 10-man Blaugrana in the second half.
WHAT THEY SAID: "The sending off... my opinion is that it is harsh," Xavi told reporters. "What I say does not count. The opinion that matters is that of the referee, who will not speak today either. I think he should have to come out here to explain himself because we have a lot at stake."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Barcelona overcame adversity to go top of La Liga after Real Madrid slipped to a loss on Monday, however Lewandowski now faces suspension for his actions.
