Barcelona dismiss Real Madrid threat to seek UEFA charge over player conduct

Barcelona vice-president Carles Villarubi has dismissed Real Madrid's threat to report them to UEFA.

Real announced on their website their intention to report Barca for unsporting conduct in Wednesday's match.

Villarubi, though, says Madrid have no grounds to report Barca.

"What Madrid did is adhere to something that has already been judged (by the referees)," he told radio station RAC1.

"UEFA, represented by the four officials (at the game), has already made its judgement on this topic, so Madrid have no grounds to report us on this basis."

And the Barca vice-president believes the decision is simply a media strategy on the part of Madrid.

"Real Madrid's reaction with this complaint is a media strategy aiming to get the media talking," he said.
