Barcelona president Joan Laporta is still an angry man, willing to call Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho a liar. It of course all dates back to the clash between the clubs where Mourinho accused Frank Rijkaard, of being a little too friendly with referee Anders Frisk.

Frisk has been forced to quit after he received threats at his home but still denies forcibly that Frank Rijkaard entered his dressing room at half time, he does believe however that UEFA should suspend Mourinho.

''Uefa should study carefully a possible ban for Mourinho because he deployed a cunning strategy that provoked the retirement of a referee,'' stated Laporta.

''He behaved improperly and lied by saying our technical team went into the officials' dressing room.

''I am confident that Uefa will take measures so this never happens again.''
