Player data: 2000-01 → 2021-22 only. Player-level match sheets come from Zenodo (BeSoccer, CC BY-NC 4.0 licence, non-commercial use). No free source provides them after 2021-22: more recent matches are not counted here. Penalties conceded are not attributed to players in the source, so they are not analysed.

In short

Pérez Lasa refereed 21 Liga matches in which Xavi took part, from 2002-03 to 2012-13: 1,686 minutes played, 4 yellow cards and 0 red cards. With the other referees, over the same seasons (323 matches, 26,370 minutes), Xavi receives 0.09 yellow cards per 90 minutes, against 0.21 with Pérez Lasa.

Verdict: no clear difference with the other referees.

Cards are rare (less than one per player per match): over a few dozen matches, only a very large deviation can be told apart from chance. "No clear difference" does not mean "no effect".
