Leader Lionel Messi claims that his team should ignore the attempts of their fiercest rival, Real Madrid's strategist Jose Mourinho, to provoke the Catalans with his statements. Spanish champions responded to the Portuguese criticism by crushing Sevilla 5-0 at home on Saturday. "We should not pay attention to what Mourinho says, it's not important," said the Argentine. "He's trying to drag us into these discussions, but we need to focus on our work." On Friday, Mourinho defended Real striker Karim Benzema, who is not in the best sporting form, pointing out that Barcelona forward David Villa has not been productive this season. "Other teams have great players who are in the same situation as Benzema, but no one talks about them," Mourinho said.
