Real Madrid boss Mourinho: Guardiola can be happy about Bernabeu leg
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is convinced they would've beaten Barcelona last night if not for the match officials.
Barca scraped into the Copa semis with a 4-3 aggregate win over Real Madrid despite letting a two-goal lead slip in a 2-2 second-leg draw at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
"I've played here with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid. Playing here isn't new to me; I've done it before. We were excited and motivated to try to win. We knew it would be hard because we were behind on the aggregate score. I've heard someone in the dressing room saying it is impossible to win here.
"Maybe Pep Guardiola congratulated us after winning last year's final because it was a clean match without any havoc. If you like I'll congratulate him for winning last week's match. I have no problem doing so. They deserved to win that game.""It was easy to talk to my men during half-time. I had few things to change. Half-times are short when your team isn't playing well; those ten minutes don't seem enough. I only needed one minute today because my team played very well in the first half. I told them to keep it up," said Mourinho.

alwaz complaining and u will neva beat dem, idiot
***** up with your comment. you should be lucky the free ruled foul on ramos goal. and ozil cross bar goal. and some ***** infrigments. 2 penalties clear.
you should be lucky that Iniesta and Sancez got injured if they weren't Madrid would be destroyed. For Madrid it's easy to play when they don't have any injuries and Barca has plenty, including Villa, Affley and now Sanchez and Iniesta, but Madrid did great job to come back from 2-0 result so I congrulate you on that, but Barca better buy some players for this injuries. It's too many injuries for Barca and with these other players if they think that they can catch Madrid that will never happen...
