Cubarsi was shown a red card in the 64th minute for a rash tackle on an Atlético player. The VAR review upheld the original decision to send Cubarsi off, leaving Barcelona with 10 men. Cubarsi's loss for 30 minutes had a significant impact on Barcelona's tactical approach, forcing Xavi to switch to a more defensive-minded setup. Barcelona has a reputation for being one of the most disciplined teams in the league, with a low rate of red cards throughout their history. The fallout from Cubarsi's sending off is likely to be felt for the remainder of the season, with a tough run of fixtures ahead.
