Barcelona manager Luis Enrique mocked a Spanish journalist in a press conference after his side's 2-1 defeat to Valencia at Camp Nou last night.
The result was Barca's third consecutive league defeat - their worst run of form since Louis van Gaal was manager in 2003 - and saw their points advantage at the top of the table wiped out.
In the post-match presser, journalist Victor Malo of the Diario Gol website asked Enrique if the players' physical preparation was a contributing factor in the results.
"What was your surname?" replied Enrique, with the journalist answering "malo", which is also the Spanish word for 'bad'.
"Correct, next question," Enrique added.
Barcelona will attempt to get their title bid back on track on Wednesday when they travel to mid-table Deportivo La Coruna.
