Ceuta boss responds to Xavi: 'It didn't sit well with anyone'

Barcelona have got lucky in the draw for the last-16 of the Copa del Rey. The Spanish side travel the worst club in the draw, and the only survivors from the third division.

Xavi Hernandez himself spoke about it in the press conference, and said he thought they were lucky. However, his words have not sat well with the North African side, as they believe he has thought less of them before playing.

Ceuta coach Jose Juan Romero spoke to 'Cadena SER', and made it clear what he thought about what the Barca boss said: "For me, he wasn't very appropriate in his comments, he could have said it differently. It didn't sit right with me or anyone. He's been lucky and we have too. We won't go into the game asking for their shirts, we're going for it. When the match is over we'll see who was the lucky one".

"He probably doesn't know what it taked for sides to get into these situations because he's had a much easy ride as manager", he continued.

He ended up visibly annoyed: "I always try and respect opponents, and since I'm a great believer in the lower leagues because I've come up from the bottom, it didn't sit right with me. I admire Xavi, I think as a player he was one of the greatest Spain has had, and he has surprised me. It wasn't appropriate".
