Mourinho was also unhappy at Barcelona putting pressure on referee Stefano Farina, who booked six Chelsea players as he brandished 10 yellow cards.
He said: "It was not an aggressive game. But when you see so manycards, mainly for us, it is because people chase the cards.
"Sometimes there were seven or eight players surrounding the referee askinghim to give cards.

Goal hero Drogba praised Lampard's contribution, adding: "He showed all his quality and is one of the best midfield players in the world." Barcelona coach Rijkaard stormed on to the pitch to confront referee Farina at the final whistle and had to be restrained by captain Carles Puyol.
Lampard himself was unimpressed with the performance of Farina, who booked 10 players - six of them from Chelsea. But he said: "He blew up one minute before he should have done but I'm notblaming that for the result.
He said: "He had a funny game to say the least - we could have had two penalties and lots of decisions went against us. "It was a battle on the pitch and it was very interesting during the game andI went on because I wanted to thank the referee for his participation."
"But I don't want to talk about his performance, I want to talk about ours - we were the better team."
