Chelsea striker Didier Drogba labelled referee Tom Henning Ovrebo a "disgrace" after his side's Champions League semi-final, second leg defeat by Barcelona.

The Blues felt they had four strong cases for penalties before Barcelona won the tie on away goals with a 93rd-minute Andres Iniesta goal.

Drogba ran onto the pitch to confront Ovrebo at the final whistle and was yellow carded.

He then shouted and swore into TV cameras and may face action from Uefa.

Drogba, who had been substituted after 72 minutes, had to be restrained as Norwegian Ovrebo went down the tunnel.

"I can fully understand in the emotion of the game, as long as they don't touch him, I can fully understand this disappointment," said Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink.

"It's not just one decision in doubt but it's several not made decisions.

"I can fully understand and I protect my players for this when they have this emotion, just with loads of energy and adrenaline in their bodies."

Drogba was sent off during last season's Champions League final defeat by Manchester United when he raised his arms at Nemanja Vidic.
