Paco Alcacer's confidence is at rock bottom with Barcelona.

The striker signed for Barca in August from Valencia and is yet to score for the Blaugrana this season.

Sport says Alcacer was gutted to again draw a blank in the Copa draw with Hercules this week.

"What people say or the press does not affect me," he told reporters after the game.

However, those close to the player concede the situation has been a blow to his confidence and self-belief.
