Barca raise ref fears in Clasico cup clash

Barcelona assistant coach Jordi Roura turned up the heat ahead of tonight’s clash with Real Madrid by questioning referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco (8pm, Sky Sports 1).

Barca host Madrid at the Nou Camp tonight in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, which is poised at 1-1 after the first leg, before the show moves to Madrid for a league fixture between the two on Saturday.

Roura pointed out that Undiano had taken charge of Barca’s only league defeat this season — when Gerard Pique was sent off in a 3-2 defeat to Real Sociedad in January – and also recalled his stewardship of the 2011 Copa del Rey final, won 1-0 by Real Madrid in extra-time.
