"After losing 0:2 to Barcelona, the Chilean strategist couldn't control his emotions and started to question the competence and impartiality of the referee who officiated the match.
"The end of the duel was determined by the referee," said M. Pellegrini. "Even before the penalty awarded to our opponents, they committed a foul against J. Navas. But from the beginning, I could see that the referee was not equally fair to both teams. So he decided the match by awarding the penalty. Moreover, it wasn't even an eleven-meter penalty."
"He completely lost control of the match," said M. Pellegrini. "It wasn't a good idea to appoint a referee from Sweden to officiate such important matches. Perhaps a match like this requires more experience."
