Barcelona fullback Daniel Alves has had a pop at Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has complained about the fixtures schedule this week.

"Whatever happens, draw or lose, we won't complain about the calendar," Alves said.

"Excuses don't work here, only work.

"Mourinho is very intelligent because he tries to deflect the attention away from his team and onto himself, but his comments won't destabilise us."
