Chelsea boss Hiddink again raps moaning Barcelona

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has again hit back at the moaning from Barcelona players over their tactics for the first-leg of their Champions League semi.

Ahead of tonight's return-leg, Hiddink said: "I think it's very human where you are used to scoring every week and then you don't that you get frustrated. We have the full right to compete.

"I have seen, rather clinically, the supposed toughness of our team in the first game but it was actually rather normal in terms of the challenges that were made, and they were made by both sides.

"We should not try to create something which isn't a reality. If you see some of the challenges from Barcelona in their last game against Real, they were similar to last week and it was rather normal in what is a man's game."
