Getafe defender Rafa Lopez has insisted that his side will 'battle to the death' when they welcome Barcelona in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

The Madrid-based outfit face an almost impossible task to qualify for the quarter-finals after losing the first leg of their last-16 clash 4-0 at Camp Nou last week.

"It's very difficult for us to make a comeback, but we'll be battling to the death for it and we'll give 100% trying to do that. Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world, but we're not going to let ourselves down," he told reporters at a press conference.

Getafe have lost five of their last six games in La Liga.
