No chance of neutrality in Spanish media battle

THERE are few neutrals in Spain when Barcelona play Madrid, and the newspapers usually react accordingly.

Marca in Madrid focused on the injustice of Pepe’s red card — when viewed in slow motion anyway — and the way it changed the game, while up in Barcelona they were rubbing their hands at the thought of an official inquiry by UEFA.

“Mourinho had help from referees both times he won the Champions League, especially last year with Inter Milan,” said Mundo Deportivo.
