Real Madrid's Guti has Sacchi swipe

Real Madrid midfielder Guti took a swipe at general manager Arrigo Sacchi and Alfredo Di Stefano after Saturday's win over Real Betis.

Sacchi and Di Stefano had been scathing in their criticism of the attitude of Real's players leading up to their Seville visit and Guti sarcastically said yesterday: "The truth is that the three points are very welcome. I personally dedicate the win to Alfredo Di Stéfano and to Sacchi."

Real coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo tried to play down Guti's comments, saying: "This isn't the time for more controversy. As soon as I say something there's more talk of a crisis."
