    Refree for Barca Real Semi Final Second Leg

    Frank de BleeckereMourinho last week blammed referees for favouring the Barcelona after his team lost 2-0 to Barça in the first leg of their semi-final at the Bernabéu.
    For this reason UEFA gave Frank de Bleeckere the responsibility of refereeing big match of Champions League between Barcelona and Real Madrid on Tuesday – 

    Real Madrid filed a complaint against Barcelona





    Real Madrid filed a complaint against Barcelona because of  non-sports play by players during a match yesterday's semi-final of the Champions League. And because of pressure and attacks on the government to grant direct red card. And this happened three times, against Bibi, and when the fall of both Boscic and Pedro representatives.

    On the other hand, the club sent a video to the EU to prove the absence of a minimum friction between Bibi and Daniel Alves, and though the baby came out and will not play.

    Real Madrid did not complain against any club ever before, because it is not of his policies, but because of his experience against Barcelona and they decided to do it first.

    Both REAL and BARCA Lodge Official Complaint to UEFA

    Real Madrid gave reply to Barcelona's decision to report Jose Mourinho to UEFA by announcing they are also lodging a report with European football's governing body, accusing the Catalan club's players of "feigning aggressions" during Wednesday's Champions League clash.


    Those two announcements came after UEFA had confirmed earlier in the day that both Spanish clubs will face disciplinary hearings following incidents during the ill-tempered semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu, which Barca won 2-0.


     Madrid Manager point clearly the unsportsmanlike behaviour of Barcelona players,who consistently played aggressive with the sole purpose of misleading the referee of the match, which clearly led to the unfair decision to dismiss our player Pepe".


    Two of the five charges against Madrid are related to the conduct of Managar Mourinho, firstly for his dismissal during the match - after he was sent off after protesting against the red card shown to Madrid midfielder Pepe - and the other relating to his "inappropriate statement" during the post-match press conference.

    Mourinho implied that they got unfavourable treatment from referees and claimed the Catalan club had yet to win a "clean" Champions League title under Pep Guardiola.

    Mourinho said: "It's clear that against Barcelona you have no chance. I don't understand why.

    I don't know if it's the publicity of UNICEF [the club's shirt sponsor], I don't know if it's the friendship of [Spanish football federation president Angel Maria] Villar at UEFA, where he is vice-president, I don't know if it's because they are very nice, but they have got this power. The rest of us have no chance."
     
    He also said: "Guardiola is a fantastic coach, but he has won one Champions League which I would be ashamed to win after the scandal at Stamford Bridge and this year, if he wins it again, it will be after the scandal at the Bernabeu."

    The first 'scandal' Mourinho referred to was the Champions League semi-final between Barca and Chelsea in 2009, when the former progressed to the final following a controversial second leg when the London side had four penalty claims turned down. Barca won the final against Manchester United in Rome.

    Following an extraordinary board meeting at the Catalan club on Thursday afternoon, spokesman Toni Freixa said Barca "want to defend the history, prestige and reputation of our members, fans, players, coaches and directors, who with their hard work and their effort won the 2009 Champions League. It's unacceptable that someone questions our titles and our links with UNICEF."
