Barcelona Knew Chelsea Would Play With A Lot Of Interruptions – Bonmati

Barcelona midfielder, Aitana Bonmati has come out to blast Chelsea for playing dirty in the UCL. This is coming after the Blues’ 1-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, Chelsea players played with a lot of unnecessary interruptions throughout the match, and Barcelona even tried to warn the referee ahead of the game, but their complain fell on deaf ears.

Bonmati added that she and her teammates must learn how to cope with their style of play ahead of the return leg.

His words, “I have not understood why a penalty was called and why Mariona was preparing and then they began to review it. In the end this has to be done the other way around. It is clear that there was a prior offside by Salma, I have not seen the play and I can’t say anything. If the VAR has marked this, we can’t do anything.

I am not in favor of playing with these interruptions, but we knew it. We had talked about Chelsea playing like this, which for me is playing dirty. We have warned the referee, but it is not up to us if they allow it. We have to know how to play with it.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
