No moaning if we go out against Chelsea, says Bara boss Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has promised there will be no more moaning should Chelsea end Barcelona's dream of a place in the Champions League final. Chelsea's defensive tactics and physical approach in the goalless first leg provoked howls of derision from Barcelona's stars while Guardiola complained about German referee Wolfgang Stark's perceived leniency. But the Barcelona coach insisted neither he nor his players will go looking for excuses if Chelsea make it to Rome. 'The team that gets through is the team that deserves it and that really wants it,' said Guardiola. 'It won't be down to refereeing decisions, the size of the pitch or anything else. I just want to think about my players' state of mind, not about the referee. I can only worry about things that are within my control.' Barcelona's free-flowing, attacking style of play was enough to consign Real Madrid to a 6-2 home defeat on Saturday. And Guardiola admitted it would be folly to alter such tactics to try to combat Chelsea's greater physical threat.
