Barcelona midfielder Xavi dismisses Copa shock: Not so important

Barcelona midfielder Xavi insists there's no reason for panic after they were thumped by Real Madrid in last night's Copa El Clasico clash.

Real won 3-1 at the Nou Camp to advance.

"We're not tired, people always say that when we lose. The problem is that we must recover our winning form. In Milan we took a sledgehammer and people thought we were disappointing.

"Today is another setback, but we must continue. The titles we're still playing for are the most important."
