Barcelona players slam Chelsea: Only one team wanted to play

Barcelona midfielder Xavi rapped the attitude of Chelsea after their 0-0 draw last night.

Xavi also slammed the performance of the match officials, declaring: "For heaven's sake! There were tackles that clearly deserved a yellow card and then (Yaya) Toure gets warned for protesting?

"There was one team that wanted to play and another that did not. It is a pity. Both teams speak of fair play, but I never saw it displayed anywhere."

Former Manchester United defender Gerard Pique added: "Barcelona was the only one who wanted to play. Instead, the reward goes to them, which seems to have been the draw they wanted.

"But at least we know we are superior because we have proven it on the field."
