The former Inter Milan head coach has spoken out on the recent Barca-Milan controversy, and remarked that Milan were the latest club to suffer from refereeing
bias.
The Portuguese manager has never held back from making statements and it was only time before the Special One shed his thoughts on the highly controversial penalty awarded
to the Blaugrana.
Mourinho has maintained that Barcelona get preferential treatment by referees in Spain and across Europe. The recent incident involving Sergio Busquets, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 and
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Nesta-c4735 has made it even more evident in the eyes of the Real Madrid head coach on the issue.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager chose Twitter as means of communication, and his spokesperson gave tweets on his behalf. The tweets read:
“Every year we learn new things. For instance, now we know that you can blow the whistle for a penalty before the ball comes into play.”
The above allegation was a remark on the apparent transgression of Nesta who was adjudged to have fouled http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048. However, the replays showed that the ball was not
in play when the shirt tugging took place. Furthermore, the AC Milan defender was held by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who sent the Rossoneri goalkeeper the wrong way to slot the ball home.
There was quite a lot of commotion after the conversion of the penalty led to the hounding of the referee, and as a consequence http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Clarence-Seedorf-c9275 was yellow carded for his
protests.
The former Porto manager further went on to suggest that It was not just Milan who had been victims of preferential treatment of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, he remarked
“Chelsea, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Real Madrid and Milan have all been
penalised. At least now we know who is going to win the Champions League!”
Till the penalty was awarded, the game was tied at 1-1, with Milan having the upper hand due to their away goal. However, after Messi converted the penalty, Milan fell into
disarray and let in a third goal as well. The game finished at 3-1, with Barcelona qualifying for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
