Barça’s players and president have condemned Guus Hiddink’s tactics and the ref while Hiddink himself hailed the brilliant Peter Cech for saving the game for Chelsea.

Barça continued to dominate in the second half but the side in yellow defended resolutely in front of the excellent Petr Cech with Samuel Eto’o and sub Bojan Krkic spurning the best chances for the home side.
