Former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has again questioned their 2009 Champions League semifinal defeat to Barcelona.
The Blues were denied a place in the final after the official Tom Henning Ovrebo made a series of blunders.
Hiddink told Ziggo Sport: “The referee performance surprised me, because in the past he’d had perfect performances. Is it the worst refereeing I’ve ever seen? I think so.”
The Dutchman alleged: “This is the only time I thought a match could’ve been fixed, possibly because UEFA didn’t want a repeat of last year’s final.”
Barca went on to beat Manchester United in the final.
Hiddink claims football chiefs did not want a repeat of the all-English final between Chelsea and United the year before, won by the Red Devils on spot-kicks.
