In previous parts of this article, we compared Manchester United and FC Barcelona’s achievements, as well as their key players; but, today, we look at something different.

FC Barcelona and Manchester United often complain that they suffer wrong decisions from referees; however, tensions don’t only get between their supporters and officials. In fact, fans from both sides tend argue among themselves on certain issues that took place last season.

Anger among Manchester United fans

Many soccer fans—mostly English fans—accuse FC Barcelona of robbing Chelsea to reach the UEFA Champions League final. Certainly, the game was finally decided trough controversy, as referee Tom Henning-Ovrebo refused to hear the Blues’ numerous appeal on penalty.

Yes, one could say that they have a point in questioning the Catalans’ qualification to the Champions League final, but in fact, United fans are also condemning their own team without noticing it.

The controversial Manchester United come back
