Stoichkov: ''I Can't Stand Real''

Former Barcelona forward Hristo Stoichkov added salt to the build-up to the Superclasico with Real Madrid. The Bulgarian veteran star said he was "against Real to death", like "Madridistas can be against Barcelona".

Having said that, Stoichkov aired criticism at Joan Gaspart's managerial skills. "All of his plans flopped", macho Hristo said. "Just for this season, the Copa del Rey is already gone down the drain. And his relationship with Van Gaal does not look very good either".
