MADRID, June 16-- FC Barcelona President Sandro Rosell warned Real Madrid that any further accusations from the club will lead to him breaking off official relations with the Santiago Bernabeu based outfit. Rosell had always said he would wait until the end of the sporting calendar before giving his conclusions of a season in which Barcelona's football team was crowned champions of Spain and Europe, while the club's basketball and handball teams also won their respective national titles. However, the Barca president was more concerned with events which had surrounded the four classicos the football team played against Real Madrid in the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League semifinal. The four matches were surrounded in controversy which began when radio station Cadena Cope announced that Real Madrid suspected some Barcelona players were doping. Real Madrid denied they had been the source of the leak, but the fact the club has not taken any action against the radio station for false reporting does little to help their case. Relations worsened following the first leg of the Champions League semifinal in Madrid, which Barcelona won 2-0, when Madrid coach Jose Mourinho used his post match press conference to accuse Barcelona of being helped by UEFA and the referees in the competition. Mourinho went as far as to say he would have been " ashamed" to have won the 2009 Champions League title if he had been at the club and even accused UNICEF of helping influence decisions in Barca's favor. |
