Levante coach Joaquin Caparros is full of mixed emotions at the prospect of his side meeting Barcelona in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

Caparros' side booked their quarter-final place last night after beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 over two legs. And they are likely to meet Barcelona, who play the second leg of their own tie against Getafe this evening.

The Catalan giants are 4-0 up from the first leg and all but certain to have a quarter-final spot to look forward to.

And for Caparros, the prospect is both nice and terrifying.

"Playing against Barcelona three times is like going to the dentist", the Levante coach joked to reporters, with an eye on this weekend's La Liga match, also against the Catalan giants.

"Hopefully it won't be such a bad experience", he continued.

"It is the quarter-final and we'll be travelling to a beautiful stadium and playing against great opponents."

Levante currently sit eleventh in La Liga, while Barcelona are top of the pile.
