Barcelona have announced their intention to report Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho to Uefa over his tirade against coach Pep Guardiola following the 2-0 Champions League semi final, first-leg defeat on Wednesday night."Yesterday Mr Mourinho went over all the limits. We trust in Uefa measures," said board member and club secretary Antoni Freixa Martin.
"The president decided to convene a special meeting and we will report the coach of Real Madrid to the Control and Disciplinary Committee of Uefa for his statements. They constitute a fraction of Article 5. Barcelona feels hurt," he continued.
"We cling to point B and D of the article because we feel the club's reputation has been damaged.
"We have reacted because there has been an offence against the club, players, staff and fans."
The Catalan side has taken action after Mourinho suggested Barcelona's successes were based on scandal.
"Pep Guardiola is a fantastic football coach, but he won a Champions League following the scandal of Stamford Bridge. I would have been ashamed to win it like that. And this year, if he wins, it will be with the scandal of the Bernabeu," Mourinho said after the game.
It's this sentence which has aggreived the Camp Nou outfit who will thus present their case to Uefa.

ShareUefa have announced that it has opened disciplinary cases against Real Madrid and Barcelona after Wednesday's Champions League semi-final clash, with hearings pencilled in for May 6.
Madrid are being investigated following the dismissal of Pepe after his challenge on Dani Alves saw him sent off. Mourinho was also removed from the touchline after he argued with referee Wolfgang Stark and his officials following the defender's red card.
Mourinho is also being charged in relation to his comments after the game, where he claimed that Barcelona were favoured by the Spanish authorities and Uefa.
He said: "It's clear that against Barcelona you have no chance.
"I don't know if it's the publicity of Unicef [the club's shirt sponsor], I don't know if it's because they are very nice, but they've got this power.
"I don't know if it's the friendship of [Spanish football federation president Angel Maria] Villar at Uefa, where he is vice-president.
"[Barcelona's Pep] Guardiola is a fantastic coach, but he's won one Champions League which I would be ashamed to win after the scandal at Stamford Bridge and this year, if he wins it again, it will be after the scandal at the Bernabeu.
"I hope that one day he will win a clean Champions League, with no incidents behind it."
Real are also being investigated following an alleged pitch invasion and the throwing of missiles from the crowd in the Bernabeu.
Barcelona’s charge relate to the sending off of substitute keeper Jose Pinto, who received his marching orders after a melee with Madrid players at half-time.
