'He's a clown': Ronald Koeman's wild touchline celebrations during Barcelona's 5-3 Copa del Rey victory over Granada 'leaves Roberto Soldado fuming as substitute hits out at rival boss'... before both sets of coaching staff clashed on the touchline

Former Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado has accused Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman of being a 'clown' after a feisty Copa del Rey encounter on Wednesday.

Barcelona defeated Soldado's Granada 5-3 after extra time to progress to the semi-finals of the Spanish domestic cup competition.

According to Cuatro, Koeman 'lived very intensely' throughout the game and 'angrily celebrated' his side's goals.
