Arsène Wenger has accused Uefa of behaving like a "dictatorship" and of showing inexplicable "arrogance" in the wake of its decision to bring improper conduct charges against him and Samir Nasri following Arsenal's Champions League exit in Barcelona.
The manager remains furious at the Swiss referee Massimo Busacca for giving Robin van Persie a second yellow card on 56 minutes for kicking the ball away, a decision he maintains "destroyed" the last-16 second leg at the Camp Nou and allowed Barcelona to advance. Wenger and Nasri clashed after the tie with Busacca, who reported them to Uefa for their use of "inappropriate language". Yet it has been Uefa's subsequent actions that have deepened Wenger's sense of injustice.
