Re-examine barca, says real

Real Madrid on Thursday asked UEFA to reconsider its decision not to investigate the behavior of Barcelona's players during the first leg of its Champions League semifinal.

UEFA's disciplinary panel on Monday rejected Real's claim that Barcelona's players were guilty of provocation during their 2-0 win at Real's Santiago Bernabeu on April 27, in which the host's midfielder, Pepe, was sent off.

Real also appealed against Pepe's dismissal, for a foul on Dani Alves, but UEFA upheld the referee's decision to show him a straight red card.
