Barcelona's Dani Alves: Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho sells newspapers but we do our talking on the pitch

Barcelona fullback Dani Alves says he expected comments from Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho over the Catalans' Champions League opponents in Group H because the Portuguese always likes to be in the spotlight.

On Monday, Mourinho said he had to look on the Internet to learn about the teams Barcelona was playing in Europe - a suggestion Pep Guardiola's men were up against the continental competition's weaker and lesser-known sides.

He was referring to Czech opponent Viktoria Plzen, which Barcelona beat 2-0 at Camp Nou on Wednesday night, and BATE Borisov, which lost 5-0 to Guardiola's side earlier in the competition.

However, Alves claims he and his teammates have come to expect such comments from Mourinho.
