Madrid strategist Jose Mourinho does not back down from his criticism expressed towards the club after the first Champions League semi-final match.
UEFA has started an investigation into the Portuguese's statements, claiming that the Catalan team constantly receives favorable decisions from referees. Mourinho also mentioned photos allegedly proving that "Real" defender Pepe did not touch Dani Alves' leg and was not worthy of being sent off the field.
"Those who criticize my words must also think that videos and photos are fake," he said. "A picture is worth a thousand words. There are plenty of those images, and you can see them all over the world, so I have nothing more to add. I said everything I wanted to say."
However, the specialist did not stop there: "Now I have an even greater desire to continue working with the 'Real' team. The white color of the jerseys means even more to me than before."
Meanwhile, "Barcelona" strategist Josep Guardiola was not inclined to engage in discussions and insisted that the outcome of the semi-final is not yet clear.
"We successfully completed the first part of the task, but the second part is still ahead of us," he insisted. "We are not yet in the Champions League final, and this season 'Real' is the only one who won the King's Cup. We do not expect any gifts from our opponents."
