Barca warning

Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu warned on Tuesday that the club were not going to stand for any more attempts to smear their record by Real or local media, backing Guardiola's surprising outburst from earlier in the day.

"All year there have been insinuations, lies, information which wasn't true about referees, the calendar and recently doping. It's enough," he told Spanish radio.

"When our footballers were linked to doping a few weeks ago we took out a lawsuit against the radio station. Today Guardiola also said 'enough'. We have to get away from these extra-sporting issues and back to the competition and playing."

Mourinho has already been in trouble with UEFA this season, serving a one-match ban over allegations that two of his Real Madrid players engineered deliberate red cards in a group game with Ajax Amsterdam.

At the time, Mourinho brushed aside UEFA's punishment, describing it as "a medal".

Real and Barca were widely criticised for their behaviour in Wednesday's match which featured constant niggling, play-acting and harassment of the referee by both sides.

UEFA said the hearings would take place on May 6.
