| Mourinho attacks Barca 'diving' | |
| (about 3 hours later) | |
| Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hailed their "magnificent" Champions League draw against Barcelona - then launched an attack on the Catalan side's approach. | |
| He said after Didied Drogba's late equaliser in the 2-2 draw: "I'm very proud. It was a very powerful display." | |
| But he added: "I think it is not easy for a referee to be a referee when the players are diving minute after minute. | |
| "I think Frank Rijkaard is a lucky manager because his Barcelona stars are protected match after match." | |
| The team played with a lot of confidence Jose Mourinho | |
| Mourinho added: "I would like to be in his position, not coaching Barcelona because I love coaching Chelsea, but because his players are protected." | |
| He said: "We are not far from finishing first in the group. It was a very powerful performance, it was magnificent. | |
| "It was very difficult when we conceded an early goal but the team played with a lot of confidence." | |
| Drogba scored with seconds left after it looked like former Chelsea star Eidur Gudjohnsen had sent them to defeat when he put Barcelona 2-1 ahead. | |
| Frank Lampard had equalised Deco's early goal, but Mourinho thought his players had been denied key decisions by referee Stefano Farina. | |
| He said: "For me it looked like two penalties for us, but I have to give the doubt because I did not see it on television and the referee did not have the benefit of television." | |
| Goal hero Drogba praised Lampard's contribution, adding: "He showed all his quality and is one of the best midfield players in the world." | |
| Lampard himself was unimpressed with the performance of Farina, who booked 10 players - six of them from Chelsea. | |
| He said: "He had a funny game to say the least - we could have had two penalties and lots of decisions went against us. | |
| "But I don't want to talk about his performance, I want to talk about ours - we were the better team." |
