Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti took aim at Barcelona and president Joan Laporta today.

Laporta has branded Real's win against Almeria on Sunday "a disgrace" over the VAR decisions.

In response, Ancelotti said: "I do not like to enter into this type of controversy. Much has been said this week. I think the same as I said before. You don't have to deflect the shot because everyone knows what has happened in the last 20 years.

"Therein lies the problem of Spanish football. The League is not adulterated. They are doing research and you have to wait.

He also spoke of Xavi: "I don't want to explain my personal feeling about this.

"About the VAR audios, you think there are things that are not good to come out. What the referees say during the matches seemed to me correct words."
