Xabi says Real Madrid players ready for Barcelona Copa clash

Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso says they're ready to face Barcelona in the Copa quarterfinals.

Real saw off Malaga 1-0 last night to set up the potential meeting.

Xabi said: "We're ready for our next opponent, but we have to take things slowly. Barcelona have yet to play their return leg and anything could happen. I feel better and more comfortable when we do better as a team."
