"Madrid followed the club's example and complained to UEFA about the opponent's attempt to "constantly unsporting behavior" towards the referee. The wave of anger rose after the first Champions League semi-final match, where "Real" without the expelled Pepe could not match Barcelona's team 0-2. The capital team's strategist Jose Mourinho later raised the question of the influence of "Barcelona" club on the work of the referees and called the match a scandal. Because of these comments, the Catalans turned to UEFA. However, the Madrid team also did not lag behind and decided to complain about the opponents' behavior on the field."
