Referee Terje Hauge gave Del Horno his marching order following a clumsy challenge of Barcelona’s young talent Lionel Messi in the 37th minute, and the Nou Camp outfit eventually managed to overturn a one-goal deficit to a memorable 2-1 away win.
But for Mourinho, the referee’s decision to send Del Horno off did not only kill the match, but also rewarded a player for a convincing play-acting performance.
"The fact that we had to play 10 versus 11 when it should have been 11 versus 11 changed everything. To play with 10 is always difficult, even against a small team. Against a good team, of course it's more difficult. We had to face them again with 10 players - not for a small period of time,” said Mourinho.
"How do you say cheating in Catalan? Can Messi be suspended for acting? Barcelona is a cultural city with many great theatres and this boy has learned very well. He's learned play-acting,” the fuming manager added.

Que le diable t'emporte, Mourinho.
Juste marre de la tendance actuel de tout foutre sur le dos de CFC...
Peut-être que Chelsea continuera a dominé le football anglais pour encore les années à venir, mais elle ne sera au grand jamais une grande équipe d'Europe et, par conséquent, de la planète football. Le football défensif merdique de Chelsea n'a pas eu et n'aura plus jamais raison du football offensif grandiose du Barça. Je tiens personnellement à remercier le Barça et les Dieux du football d'avoir puni Chelsea. Tu vois où te mène ton arrogance à la con Mourinho.
