Bust Up Between Guardiola And Solbakken

After Copenhagen’s 1-1 draw against Barcelona last night, a dispute started between the two coaches. The reason of the bust up between Guardiola and Stale Solbakken seems to be Jose Pinto's sly (yet intelligent if you think about it) whistle in the previous leg at the Nou Camp.

Solbakken said later, “After we had shaken hands he (Guardiola) started to say something about UEFA and I think he meant the whistling incident, I said that he (Pinto) should have got five games – that was just a bad Norwegian joke

“Maybe he doesn’t understand Norwegian humour! … I really respect Guardiola, he’s one of the finest coaches but I think he was told something wrong.”

Well, if Norwegian humour means getting into someone's face, then no one would get it.
