@Taz actually the telegraph says he was tired of coaching barca.
Quote:
The team selections for those three games were of a coach who no longer believed wholeheartedly in all his players. Gerard Pique was left out of the first leg at Stamford Bridge and the Nou Camp league game with Real Madrid. Dani Alves was not picked to play in the second leg against Chelsea.
He was famously out with his wife, watching a three-hour play at a Barcelona theatre when Chelsea and Benfica were playing their quarter-final second leg. Preferring a three-hour modern Greek tragedy called Incendies to making plans to prevent the 180-minute footballing catastrophe that befell his side in the semi-finals. It was the action of a man who needed a rest. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3
