Barca anger stays with Hiddink

Chelsea's interim coach Guus Hiddink has turned his back on TV work at the Champions League final next week and claimed UEFA are "happy" their European showpiece is not another all-English affair. Hiddink admits he is still feeling the "anger and injustice" of Chelsea's controversial semi-final exit at the hands of Barcelona, who face holders Manchester United in Rome on Wednesday night. Hiddink, taking questions from fans on Chelsea TV last night, rejected a conspiracy theory aimed at preventing a repeat of last season's final between the Blues and United. "It is difficult to talk about conspiracy if you have no proof," said Hiddink. "I am rather human as well and I think UEFA, they will not say it, were very happy there was not an all-England final for the second consecutive time. "First of all we should have scored more goals in the home game but besides that I feel the anger and the injustice."
