Real cry foul over officials

REAL MADRID assistant coach Aitor Karanka claimed the performance of the officials in last night’s semi-final second leg at Barcelona proved his side had no chance of making it through to the Champions League final.

That never came as Barca cruised to their third Champions League final in six years with a 3-1 aggregate win.
