‘Mourinho a blight on Spanish football’

BARCELONA vice-president Carles Vilarrubi has added to the criticism of Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho following Wednesday night’s controversial end to the second leg of the Spanish Supercopa.

Another fantastic footballing spectacle between arguably the best two sides in Europe was again overshadowed by the antics of Mourinho, who appeared to put a finger in the eye of Barca assistant Tito Vilanova during a melee in the closing stages.

Vilanova responded by striking the Portuguese on the side of the head as the match — which saw Barca emerge 3-2 winners on the night to claim the Supercopa 5-4 on aggregate — finished in ugly scenes at the Nou Camp.
