Gary Neville: 'My worst experience in football'

Valencia boss Gary Neville has conceded that his team's 7-0 defeat at Barcelona on Wednesday was "one of the worst experiences" that the Englishman has been through during his football career.

Luis Suarez hit four and Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick as 10-man Los Che were humiliated in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at Camp Nou.

Neville has already insisted that he will not stand down from his position, however, and is looking ahead to Sunday's La Liga clash at Real Betis.

"I wish the match against Betis could start in 10 minutes. This is one of the worst experiences I've ever gone through in football," Neville told reporters.

Valencia have not picked up all three points in the league since Neville took control of first-team affairs at the start of December.
