Lets hope UEFA throw the book at them (though we know this prob wont happen) - i would suggest kicking them out for this to be honest.
And reading what the ref "done wrong" it seems the Barca people need to know the rules.
1) "When two players from the same team are on the floor the referee should stop the match, which did not happen."
Wrong - Law 5 of the Rule of the games as set out by UEFA states "Play is stopped if, in the opinion of the referee, a player is seriously injured"
2) "What's more he then obliged them to leave the pitch, in contravention of the rules.
Again wrong, and once again stating Law 5 "as soon as the referee has authorised the doctors to enter the field of play, the player MUST leave the field of play, either on a stretcher or on foot...."
You couldnt make it up!

Not suprised, they clearly realise the ref got it righ unlike their club where as on the occasion you refer to the whole world saw the ref have a disgraceful game.

Obviously they didnt watch their game against Chelsea some seasons ago and see how they qualified. And again there was no complain when their 2nd goal against AC millan. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Have always said there should be a new rule:
Rule Z: If a player is on the ground for more than 10s the doctor much immediately enter the pitch to attend to the player and when a player receives treatment 3 times in a game the player should be taken off permanently due to health reasons and can not be replaced.
By so doing, real and fake injuries can be determined and the likes of Barca will be finishing games with 5 players.

I don't even know why they're complaining, they'll win the next game and progress anyway

Love this!
"Rule Z: If a player is on the ground for more than 10s the doctor much immediately enter the pitch to attend to the player and when a player receives treatment 3 times in a game the player should be taken off permanently due to health reasons and can not be replaced."

I'd make Rule Z just like yellow cards. Instead of 3 times make it 2 and make it cumulative over the season/competition (i.e. they get a mandatory a 3 match medical leave if they accumulate a certain number of these over time.
