AC Milan veteran Clarence Seedorf feels they were robbed in defeat at Champions League opponents Barcelona.

The Dutchman was unhappy with the decision to award a penalty against Alessandro Nesta.

"I asked the referee for clarification about the penalty and his answer was a yellow card," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I asked him again after the game and he told me that the players were holding each other before. That angered me.

"I'd prefer to lose 7-1 than like this. Although we didn't lose because of that penalty, it changed the psychological aspect of the game."
