MADRID (AP) -Jose Mourinho says he's enjoying "a very nice moment" at Real Madrid despite reported divisions within his squad following the loss last week to Barcelona causing speculation to mount about his future.

The Portuguese coach has come under criticism from his usually staunch allies - fans and the Madrid media - since the 2-1 home loss to Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals last Wednesday.

During a tense news conference on Tuesday, a petulant Mourinho answered many questions by saying "I don't know" and failed to respond when asked if he would leave the Spanish leaders at the end of the season.

Mourinho did say that Pepe is available for the second leg on Wednesday if he escapes a ban for stomping on Lionel Messi.

Barca awaits Real Madrid again

Real Madrid probably will abandon its defensive strategy and go on the attack against Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Wednesday.

That's a reason?

AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng is hurt again, and his girlfriend says it's because they have sex "7-10 times a week." Oh.
