Pep Guardiola: I'm sick of playing Real... Barca and Madrid trade fresh insults ahead of semi-final showdownBy Michael Walker
Barcelona and Real Madrid moved from allegations of unfairness and formal complaints to UEFA to accusations of racism yesterday.
There has been so much acrimony around the three clasicos over the past 18 days that Barca manager Pep Guardiola said with some despair: 'I didn't expect to be in this position, hoping it would be over. We are sick of playing football against Madrid.'
Evidence of an increasingly fraught atmosphere for tonight's second leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Nou Camp came when Jose Mourinho's assistant Aitor Karanka repeated the accusation that Barcelona's Sergio Busquets mouthed the word 'mono' - 'monkey' - at Madrid defender Marcelo during the first leg.

Guardiola, whose side won that snarling, vicious dogfight 2-0 in the Bernabeu, replied to the racism claim by saying: 'I know these kind of players, all of them. They are an example of professionalism, of honesty.
'They love sport, they love the values of sport. They know we play for the rest of the world. Of course they can make mistakes but as humans, they are an example as players of Barcelona, as players of Spain.'
If racism were proven, Guardiola added: 'We would take action. We would be very upset. But if an opponent makes an allegation, UEFA has to decide.'
