Xavi, 44, was given a straight red card for his outburst by Romanian international referee Istvan Kovacs.
The Spaniard was clearly frustrated after signing his side lose a 4-2 aggregate lead on the night.
As he walked away from the touchline, Xavi could be seen taking off his coat and having a quick chat with assistant Oscar Hernandez.
Fans reacted to the moment as they flooded social media.
One commented: “So stupid from Xavi!”
A second wrote: “Poor Xavi.”
A third posted: “Xavi is a crybaby.”
A fourth said: “Please Xavi, leave now.”
Another added: “Xavi really leaves our club.”
Raphinha had scored the opening goal before Paris Saint-Germain hit back with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha.
Ronald Araujo was also shown a straight red card earlier in the match for a last-man challenge.
To make matters worse, moments later, the Ligue 1 side were awarded a penalty as Dembele was fouled by Joao Cancelo.
Kylian Mbappe converted from the sport to put PSG 5-4 ahead in the tie.
Barcelona then had another blow as Hernandez was given a second yellow card and also handed his marching orders, leaving the team two coaches down.
Mbappe sealed the win in the 89th minute as he fired in after a swift counter-attack.
Barcelona had gone into the second leg 3-2 up, having won a thrilling first leg at the Parc des Princes.
