Getafe coach Sanchez Flores hits back at Barcelona rival Xavi: The pitch wasn't clay

Getafe coach Quique Sanchez Flores has shrugged off Barcelona criticism about their pitch.

Barca coach Xavi was unhappy with the pitch after Sunday's 0-0 draw at Getafe.

But Sanchez Flores responded, stating: "I'm not going to go into it.

"But we haven't played on clay, we've played on a beautiful pitch, where we've been playing all season and which was the same for both of us."

He added, "When you go there they leave it very short and very fast. Everyone plays with the tools they have. We haven't muddied anything."
