Baros blasts Muscat

Milan Baros has revealed he came close to losing his temper with Kevin Muscat.

Liverpool star Milan Baros has revealed he came close to losing his temper with Kevin Muscat.

Baros claims Muscat deliberately fouled him on the sidelines which earned both players a booking in the Carling Cup clash and the Czech Republic ace admitted he felt like punching the Millwall captain.

"He should not have done what he did," said Baros.

"The ball was already out and he tackled me. He took my legs away.

"He grabbed me around the neck but I could not punch him because that is definitely three or four games out. I stayed cool and kept my anger in.

"It was silly and I think he knew that. I told him he could not do it and after a few seconds he maybe realised and said sorry.

"Sometimes people have too much motivation, especially against Liverpool when it is maybe the biggest game in their season."
