Those who thought that José Mourinho's tone would change for the press conference before the weekend's Zaragoza clash from the accusatory, rather undignified rant from Wednesday were half right. At times the Real Madrid manager's refrain of 'por qué?' or 'why?' came out pitched a little higher than Mourinho had intended and ended up as a mousey squeak.

However, there was to be no apology from The Special One over his endless musings concerning whether Barcelona were in bed and doing the dirty with UEFA or over Mourinho's taunt that he would have been ashamed to have won the 2009 Champions League title after Barça's semi-final in Stamford Bridge. José ne regrettait blooming anything.

The attacks from Mourinho aimed at Barcelona and European football's governing body saw UEFA announcing that his comments amongst other goings on from the night including a pitch invader would be discussed during what could be a very lengthy meeting indeed by the group's Disciplinary Committee on Monday. Real Madrid responded in kind with their own claims against six Barcelona players for "pre-meditated anti-sporting behaviour."
