London, England (My Sportsbook) - Chelsea's interim coach Guus Hiddink was convinced his side should have been awarded three penalties as the Blues crashed out of the Champions League to Barcelona.

The Blues lost 1-1 on away goals after Andres Iniesta's stoppage-time strike but had several penalty appeals controversially turned down by Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo.

The official ruled that Daniel Alves brought down Florent Malouda outside the area when it appeared the foul had taken place in the box, and then waved away appeals when Didier Drogba fell under a challenge from Eric Abidal.

In the closing stages both Gerard Pique and Samuel Eto'o appeared to handle the ball in separate incidents only for Ovrebo to again ignore the appeals.

"There were three clear penalties, and the boys feel that this was an injustice," a baffled Hiddink said after his side's exit. "Two of them, the Barcelona players went up with their hands in the air.

"The ref had a perfect view of the Malouda one, he was grabbed inside the box and that has to be a clear penalty. The Drogba one I think is a yes or a no, so you can sometimes give the benefit of the doubt to the referee in that instance.

"But then you see the two handball incidents in the second half and the players' arms going up and the ball hitting them and the referee waving them away.

"Emotions are running very high with the players because it's not just one decision in doubt, it's several."
