Barcelona set to appeal Vitor Roque red

Champions Barcelona took the lead against Alaves through Robert Lewandowski in the first half and doubled their advantage when Ilkay Gundogan volleyed home soon after the break.
Samu Omorodion pulled a goal back for the hosts before 18-year-old striker Roque pounced and a few minutes later was harshly dismissed.
Barcelona's victory helps them cut the gap on league leaders Real Madrid to seven points before 'Los Blancos' face Atletico Madrid in a derby clash Sunday. They have won both of their matches since Xavi announced last weekend he would leave the club at the end of the season.
Xavi selected Andreas Christensen in defensive midfield for the first time in his Barcelona career, with the Catalans still unable to find a reliable replacement for Sergio Busquets.
The Danish defender was solid and showed Xavi he is an option for the future in the role. "He was comfortable, aggressive, didn't lose the ball, kept his eyes open - we were good on transitions, he gave us discipline," Xavi told reporters.
Roque, who arrived in the January transfer window from Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense, was on the pitch less than 15 minutes after he was shown two yellow cards. The second was for an innocuous challenge on Rafa Marin, but there was no video review as VAR cannot ask officials to check second yellow card incidents.
"We will appeal it because it's clear that it's an error, it's another error from the referee towards us," Xavi told DAZN. "Evidently it's an unfair red card."
