Chelsea backtracking

Chelsea insisted Thursday there had been no confrontation between manager Jose Mourinho and a member of the Barcelona coaching staff during their controversial 2-1 Champions League defeat at the Nou Camp.
The match saw Chelsea, who finished with 10 men after Didier Drogba was sent off, beaten after going a goal up at half-time.
And Mourinho was furious that referee Anders Frisk had allegedly spoken to Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard at the interval, during which, some reports suggested, there had been a tunnel clash between Chelsea staff and Barcelona assistant coach Henk ten Cate.
Mourinho was reportedly so angry he said the club would be making an official complaint to European soccer governing body UEFA.
But a statement issued on Chelsea's official website Thursday said: "Following Chelsea's statement after the Barcelona match last (Wednesday) night, it is being reported through various media outlets that an incident occurred between Jose Mourinho and a member of the Barcelona coaching staff.
"This incident did not happen and Chelsea can therefore confirm that this will not form part of our report to UEFA which is currently being prepared."
Chelsea lost Ivorian striker Drogba for a second bookable offence then conceded two second half goals to lose the match 2-1.
UEFA have said their own tunnel representative saw nothing unto-
ward and were waiting for the arrival of both Frisk's report and Chelsea's complaint before making further investigations.
Rijkaard could still be in trouble if, as has been reported, he talked to Frisk in the official's own dressing room at the interval.
But regardless of the outcome of their complaint Chelsea could themselves be fined by UEFA for refusing to attend Wednesday's post-match media conference, a move which broke tournament rules.
"We do not understand the Chelsea decision," UEFA spokesman William Gaillard told the BBC.
"We will certainly ask them. It is a violation of the rules."

boss Sir Alex Ferguson had put pressure on referee Neale Barry at half-time and that this affected the official's performance after the interval.
That match finished in a goalless draw before Chelsea won the second leg 2-1. They face Liverpool in the League Cup final at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday.
The second leg of their last 16 Champions League clash against Barcelona is at the London club's Stamford Bridge home on March 8.
