 Gudjohnsen swapped the blue of Chelsea for the swoosh of Barca |
Barcelona star Eidur Gudjohnsen has brushed off accusations from Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho that he dives. Mourinho caused a stir before last month's Champions League tie between the two sides by suggesting ex-Chelsea star Gudjohnsen had cheated.
But Gudjohnsen told BBC Sport: "It didn't bother me at all. I didn't take any notice of it.
"I think the things Mourinho comes out with are just his way of dealing with the media."

The outspoken Chelsea boss spoke out in the week before their visit to the Nou Camp - a game that finished 2-2.
Gudjohnsen had been awarded a penalty in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Recreativo Huelva in La Liga.
And Mourinho said: "Eidur played in English football all his life and three months later he gets that penalty. In England players are not allowed to do that."
When he was asked by a reporter whether the tie would make great theatre, he replied: "Ask Eidur".
But Gudjohnsen, who played under Mourinho for two seasons before his �8m move to Barca in the summer, added: "I really enjoyed playing under him at Chelsea and we had a good personal relationship.
"To the players, he is completely different in the dressing-room than he is in public.
"Maybe he is trying to take the pressure off the players, but I don't know if it helps as there is always pressure - it's just the way he chooses to deal with it."
