Francesc Fabregas has criticised the referee who took charge of the Champions League final between Arsenal and Barcelona - Terje Hauge.
The young midfield maestro also criticised Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez.
Fabregas said: "You have to be fair in football - you have to be honest and well done to you if you've won, but you have to win in a good way.
"And then you see a player like Marquez who is kicking Thierry [Henry] all the time or trying to hit him all the time from behind.
"And then José [Antonio Reyes] goes to him to get the ball and he just makes theatre of it and goes on the floor to lose time.
"I don't like to be in the position of saying things about the referee but maybe it's true.
"If you look at the first goal for Barca, it's clearly offside."
