Real Madrid midfielder Guti was happy to wind-up Barcelona fans before this weekend's El Clasico. Guti was branded "cocky" by the Catalan press after his colourful media conference yesterday.

Asked if he had seen Barca's amazing win over Arsenal, Guti replied: "No, I didn't bother watching. I saw some highlights."

And on Barca's chances of winning the Champions League at the Bernabeu, he laughed: "I won't be there. I think I'll be on vacation somewhere."

Comparing Lionel Messi with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Guti added: "They are the same but we have signed eight players, among which is the best in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo) and we have a revelation (Higuain). Now we are at their level player for player."
