Barcelona boss Guardiola lets rip as Jose gets under his skin

BARCELONA coach Pep Guardiola hit back at Real Madrid counterpart Jose Mourinho as a stunning war of words erupted between the rival coaches ahead of tonight’s Champions League semi-final first leg.

Speaking earlier yesterday, Mourinho launched a stinging attack on Guardiola regarding comments the Barca coach was supposed to have made about certain refereeing decisions.

Mourinho, referring to an example following last week’s Copa del Rey final between Madrid and Barca regarding a disallowed Pedro Rodriguez goal for offside, said Guardiola had created a new group of coaches — one that criticises officials when they make correct decisions.
