Barca keeper Pinto gets European ban
CONFUSING an FC Copenhagen player into believing he was offside when clear through on goal earned Barcelona's Jose Manuel Pinto a two-match Champions League ban from UEFA yesterday.
The Danish club had made a formal complaint to European soccer's governing body over the incident which occurred in the 26th minute of its 0-2 defeat at the Nou Camp on October 20. Copenhagen's Brazilian striker Cesar Santin had the chance to break clear, with the score 1-0 to Barcelona at the time, but gave up chasing the ball believing he was offside. In video replays, reserve goalkeeper Pinto is seen waving his arm to indicate the move has been ruled out, and after he has cleared the ball, grinned towards the bench and pointing at himself. Santin later accused Pinto of simulating the referee's whistle to put him off.
