Frank Rijkaard was furious after the physical treatment his team received in their win against Getafe on Saturday evening and blamed Bernd Schuster for sending out his team to kick his players.
The Dutch coach said that he was upset with the German's attitude before the game and highlighted the aggressive manner in which the visitors played.
Barça were reduced to ten men when Ronaldinho kicked out after being fouled by David Belenguer and was angered that his team were punished while Getafe were left alone.
"You could see the mentality and the desire was that of their coach," Rijkaard said.
"He talked about kicking people before the game even started. His attitude could have had an effect on what went on out there. From the first minute onwards he was complaining.
"He would need to win 10 or 20 cups playing like that for me to agree with his way of doing things."
After opening the scoring after two minutes, Ronaldinho was then sent off just before half time and showed his frustration as he left the pitch.
"We saw that Ronaldinho was very affected by it all when he was leaving the field," Rijkaard continued.
"When a player is kicked a lot during a game, there comes a moment when you are annoyed after one particular tackle. All I can say is that it is a shame for the way we play, which is to create and focus on attacking in the opposition half, when we commit one error and a card is shown to a player to have him sent off.
"It surprised me because we do not have a team that is dirty. Our idea is to move the ball quickly and to keep possession. We should act more like the Getafe players maybe and when there is minimal contact we should throw ourselves about, shout out and call for cards.
"When my players go over they get up quickly because they know about football."
After playing for 50 minutes with a player less, Barça garnered all three points and Rijkaard was delighted.
"We had to work very hard to complete our task with ten players," he said. "But they were only able to create things near the end, when we were tired."
Schuster himself had been equally angered by what he had seen and criticised the referee, Alfonso Pérez Burrull, for his display.
"The bigger team has been favoured, just like always," he said, before focussing on a penalty that he believes should have been awarded when Belenguer went down in the area.
"To not blow for that was horrendous, but we are used to it now. When the bigger teams are playing for something they always have things go their way that little bit more."
The visitors' trainer believed that his side were well behaved and that they played extremely well.
"We have been better than Barça and took them on head-to-head and the percentage of possession was very even," he had continued. My team were outstanding and the only bad thing is that we could not find a way to goal. There was nothing more we could have done."
After hearing Schuster's words, Rijkaard responded uncharacteristically as he jibed: "If that was lesson in football, I'd quite happily take one of those every Sunday."
