There were 13 players from the Primary Tier G14 power lobby teams one booking away from missing the Champions League Final.
Between them they accumulated 16 fouls and three players will miss the game in Munchen.
Chelsea had 5 players one booking away from missing the showcase.

The solutions to the major end-of-season Champions League events are always truly holistic.
First we had Mourinho sending through Art of War strategies to help Chelsea against Barcelona.
Second we had both Barcelona and Bayern Munchen utilising their G14(18) power webs to energise the excellent refereeing performance from Cuneyt Cakir - Chelsea committed 10 fouls (just two more than Barca) had 6 bookings, a sending off, a penalty against them and the result that four of the punished players are banned from the final.

Barcelona are going to be mugged at Levante this evening.
Next week it is Real Madrid.
Tonight's referee is Texeira Vitienes - the man whose last 7 key match-changing decisions ie sendings off and penalties in Barca games have been against the Catalunyan side.
Fully 47% of all such decisions against Barcelona in La Liga in this window have been made by this one man!

The three core referees whose match performances exhibit (obviously unintentional) bias in favour of Manchester United continue to be utilised in favour of the Red Devils despite the retirement of Red Walton.
Having been given Howard Webb as referee or dominant 4th official to a very junior referee in the last three Premier League games, the EPL have made Chris Foy the 4th official for the next match at Eastlands versus West Bromwich Albion.

Raul Meireles stunning strike in injury-time insured Chelsea would meet Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals in a forth-nights time as they laboured to a 2-1 win over 10 man Benfica who went into the break 1-0 down and a man down after Maxi Pereira was sent-off for two bookings and Frank Lampard had scored from the spot in the 21st minute.

Madness and mayhem on and off the field. 4 red cards, a total of 14 bookings, and 40 fouls. Rui Faria (athletic trainer), Jose Mourinho, Sergio Ramos, and Mesut Oezil were all sent off. And oh, there were two goals. Cristiano Ronaldo's followed by Marcos Senna's free kick equalizer that sent Real Madrid into a raging frenzy.

As part of the unedifying spectacles of Manchester United frequently playing with a 12th man, Anthony Taylor referees this afternoon's game at Wolverhampton.
Mr Taylor is from Manchester.
So he's either a Red or a Blue.
Half-time: Wolves 0 Man Utd 3 (Wolves 3 fouls - one sending off and one booking plus Jarvis denied a penalty; Man Utd 5 fouls - no bookings).

Speaking in a post match interview, Mackems manager, Martin O'Verrated O'Neill, cast light on the unusual sending off of Sunderland's bad boy hatchet man, Lee Cattermole, who was given a straight red card by Wirral whistler, Mike Dean, a full two minutes after the final whistle had sounded. It brought his total number of bookings [.

With Sunday's game against Aston Villa going ahead around 2pm, I can't help feeling that its a big test of our top four credentials this weekend.Alex McLeish has got Aston Villa playing very well again.But he has to do without Gabby Agbonlahor due to picking up five bookings so far this seasn.This may give vetern Emile Heskey a start againt his old club at Villa park.

No de Cologne You would have thought that when you are an international footballer and you get yourself booked, you might just try and keep under the radar for a while. No bad challenges. No dissent. And no strangling. Not Franck Ribery. After a fairly blatant dive in Bayern Munich's game against Cologne last night, [.

Mistaken identity What do mean you can't see it? They're like two peas in a pod. Just ask Greek referee Michael Koukoulakis, who managed to confuse the pair during last night's Europa League clash between Udinese and Celtic. The ref showed Cha Du-Ri two yellow cards during the match. But at some point between the [.
