Real
Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has continued his verbal assault on
Barcelona, labelling the European champions 'a small team' after
Wednesday night's Supercopa second leg defeat at the Nou
Camp.
Another fantastic
footballing spectacle between arguably the best two sides in Europe
was again overshadowed by the antics of Mourinho, who thrust a
finger in the eye of Barca assistant Tito Vilanova in a melee in
the closing stages.
Mourinho, who
will this season serve a touchline ban in Champions League fixtures
after comments made about Barca last season, is unlikely to face
sanction for his bizarre attack referee David Fernandez Borbalan
failed to include the details in his match
report.
The Portuguese
was particularly unhappy that the ball-boys appeared to disappear
after half-time with the home side 2-1 up on the night and 4-3
ahead on aggregate.
He said: 'Real
Madrid gave a spectacular performance from the first to the last
minute.
'We came here to
play. What I'm about to say is not a criticism, I'm just stating a
fact: there were no ball-boys in the second half, which is
something typical of small teams when experiencing
difficulties.
'I'm not going to
say we're happy because we didn't win the Spanish Super Cup, that
would be hypocritical of me.
'But we intended
to play like men and not fall on the ground at the slightest
touch.'
All smiles: Messi is mobbed after scoring the
winning goal in Wednesday's game
The sub-plot came at the end of a
wonderful game which saw Barca twice take the lead through Andres
Iniesta and Lionel Messi with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema
replying.
But, with extra-time looming, Barca won it when
Messi volleyed home Adriano's right-wing cross.
Madrid's frustration then spilled over with
Marcelo sent-off for a crude tackle on debutant Cesc
Fabregas.
It sparked a bust-up which saw Mourinho's clash
with Vilanova and red cards for substituted players David Villa and
Mesut Ozil.
Barca central defender Gerard Pique was clear in
his opinion on where the blame lay.
'It's a shame, it is not the first time and it's
always the same,' said the Spain international.
'Someone has to take action on the matter.
Mourinho is destroying Spanish football. There is talk about the
Catalans, but the problem is with Madrid.'
