#EL GRAND CLASICO#

 BARCA AND REAL MADRID RENEW RIVALRIES ( the two sides are in war of words again)
 The two sides lock horns against each other at the Semi-Final of the Copa Del Rey at the Estadio Camp nou Barcelona Spain.

 Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho has told Barcelona to focus on football rather than complaining about referees while Barcelona Right Back Dani Alves says he does not like any player from Real Madrid and if given the opportunity he would not sign any player from the Bernabeu Camp. 

The 50-year-old has challenged the Blaugrana to teach his side a "lesson" in the game when they clash on Tuesday, as opposed to complaining about officials.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho believes Barcelona should focus on football rather than talking about the referees ahead of the second-leg Copa del Rey clash at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona interim coach Jordi Roura voiced his reservations over the appointment of Alberto Undiano Mallecano as the referee for the Clasico, and the Blancos trainer feels they should concentrate on the game itself.

"I prefer to stay with the lessons we have received in the past from Barcelona. Lessons in sportsmanship, how to be in football. Not talking about the referees, not surrounding them, trying to get opponents booked," he sarcastically told reporters.

"And, of course, giving lessons on how to play football, they do that very well. They would be well advised if they humbly followed that line."

The former Chelsea boss is looking forward to the encounter as his side look to rescue their season with a Copa triumph.

"These are the games we like to play and I like going into with the players. We prefer games this dimension and this difficulty."

Dani Alves: I wouldn't sign anyone from Madrid

The Barcelona full back believes the Blaugrana squad is good enough as it is without having to poach any of their rivals' players, and is looking forward to Tuesday's Clasico

Dani Alves believes Barcelona does not need to sign anyone from archrival Real Madrid.

Barcelona president Sandro Rosell hinted recently that there was one Blancos player he would like to bring to Camp Nou, but the former Sevilla man feels his side is strong enough.

"I wouldn't bring anybody [from Madrid]. We are well served in all positions. If they didn't play for Madrid, perhaps, but as they are there, then it's better not to," Alves told Mundo Deportivo.
The two rivals clash on Tuesday in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, with Barca holding a 1-1 draw and an away-goal edge from the first leg, but the 29-year-old Alves has dismissed suggestions that his side will take a defensive approach.

"We don't know how to play for 0-0. We play to win, not to defend a result. We will go to attack from the first minute," Alves said. "It will be a tough game. They are all classics and we will enjoy a grand finale. It just depends on us."
