Jose ruining football in Spain: Pique

"Mourinho is wrecking Spanish football," Pique said. "People are looking for culprits but they are in Madrid. Someone needs to get the video, analyse it and say who is to blame."

Mourinho accused Barca players of going to ground easily. "Marcelo got a red card because we all know what happens after tackles in certain areas of the pitch," the Portuguese said.

During the melee of players and management staff, television pictures appeared to show Mourinho sneak up behind Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova and poke him in the eye.

When asked about the incident, Mourinho replied: "I have been polite and played like a man and not fallen to the ground at the first touch. I don't know who Vilanova is."
