Accusations and
counter-accusations between the press of Madrid and Barcelona this week, with
the Madrid based sports papers claiming that Undiano Mallenco missed a push by
Piqué on Kanouté in the penalty area when Sevilla were fighting
back against Guardiola's side, and the Barcelona papers responding with
comments that Muñiz Fernández gave Real Madrid a helping hand
(literally) by awarding a penalty and sending off Athletic's Amorebieta when
the ball hit him on the arm in the first half of their match. All of that is
academic though as the decisions cannot be overturned, and we are now heading
for one of the most exciting finishes in recent years. Hopefully the final
games will not be marred by controversial decisions by our men-in-black (or
yellow or whatever the colour)! (12.05.10) |
