UEFA Charge Real Madrid And Barcelona For Bernabeu Brawl
By Chris Wright
Just a quickie to let y’all know that UEFA have charged both Real Madrid and Barcelona for their conduct during last night’s abysmal Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu – which should come as a surprise to literally no-one.
Real are in trouble over the ferrago surrounding Pepe’s red card and Jose Mourinho’s subsequent dismissal, as well as the behaviour of some sections of the Merengues’ support.
Meanwhile, UEFA have also seen fit to throw the book at Barcelona after reserve keeper Jose Pinto saw red during a scuffle between the two sets of players at half-time – meaning that all the diving, play-acting and snippy fouling throughout the game looks like it will go unpunished as per usual.
Both cases will be heard by UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Body on 6th May.

From my extensive and exhaustive (1 clip) analysis (1 view) of the video surrounding Pinto’s exit from the bench, it looks like Arbeloa gets the problem started and that Pinto really didn’t do much. That said, the quality of the match last night should have seen both teams get the book well and truly thrown at them.
I really don’t understand where Pinto getting grabbed in the throat by a madrid staff/player constitutes him getting sent off and whoever grabbed him in the throat gets no charge…is Pinto’s foul language more damaging to football than strangulation is?
@dc so when barca do it to arsenal suddenly its ok?

Both sides were bad tuesday.
Horrific.
I feel mourinho wanted 0-0, and therefor was angry that all decisions went against him.
And while i disagree with this 0-0 tactic aim, you can’t help but feel a bity empathy of reviewing this:
