Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic was reluctant to discuss his Barcelona future after their World Cup elimination.

Rakitic left Sevilla for Barca last week.

And after defeat to Mexico, he remarked: "At the moment I'm sad. I have no desire to talk, I'm sad for my country, it hurts.

"Now we must rest and prepare for what is coming. I have to change clubs, but now is very difficult to talk...."
