Several Spanish sources have confirmed that there has been a dispute between Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez and his Brazilian player Rafinha Diaz since the Valencia match last month. According to journalist Javi Miguel, quoting sources from within the Barcelona dressing room, the dispute between Rafinha and Xavi was due to the Brazilian insulting Oscar Hernandez when he was substituted against Valencia. Then the coach told him that he would not play against Girona, and he actually participated as a substitute in the Blaugrana’s harsh defeat against the neighbor.
