But Van der Vaart, who came off the bench in the final but was not among those booked, bears no grudges.
"I don't have a problem with him," he said. "He was a little bit unlucky in the final."
"I only had 10 minutes (to decide). I called my wife and said: 'We are going to London'. She was shocked," Van der Vaart told a news conference at Tottenham's training ground.
"Well the press room (at Real) was a little bit bigger," he said sparking a ripple of laughter among the reporters.

"We have a young team and I think we can win something with a little bit of luck given the kind of players we have.
He was the German club's top scorer in his first season and became captain, playing 111 games before joining Real Madrid in 2008 where he struggled to hold down a first-team place.
