24-4-2012 Barcelona vs Chelsea

 24-4-2012 Barcelona vs Chelsea

Pep Guardiola apparently does not like the criticism that has been heaped upon him for his squad selection last week vs Chelsea or over the weekend vs Real Madrid. In his press conference before tonight’s Champions League second leg Barcelona vs Chelsea, he took offense to the suggestion that Christian Tello had no place on the pitch vs Real Madrid last week.

Besides actually getting angry and swearing, thus endangering his title as “World’s Classiest Man,” Barcelona manager Guardiola has plenty more to say, especially with regards to injuries, or non-injuries, and what that means to his squad selection. He’ll have more decisions to make for the Barcelona vs Chelsea second leg of Champions League semi finals, as more and more Barcelona players are battling injuries and the critics are circling, ready to pound with two times the ferocity than they did after the disaster of a weekend Barcelona had to endure in the hands of Real Madrid.
