FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta commented the semifinal draw of the Copa del Rey on Barca TV as soon as he found out that Barca had to play Getafe:
Getafe are a very complicated team and we'll have to work very hard to win the tie. I was speaking to the Getafe president, Angel Torres, at a meeting of the Spanish FA and they didn't want to get Barca and we didn't want Getafe. They're having a great season in the Cup as well and they're very excited about this competition, the same as us.
