Leeds United booked a play-off semi-final against Derby County on Sunday afternoon after they ended their Championship campaign with a 3-2 defeat to relegated Ipswich.

With the Rams defeating West Brom 3-1, it meant that Frank Lampard's side will sealed sixth place and will lock horns with the Whites over two legs next week.

The tie will obviously bring a shedload of baggage without, following the 'Spygate' saga which engulfed Leeds' season back in January when the two sides last met.

The matter was put to bed when Leeds were fined £200,000 over the incident, with Bielsa last week revealing that he paid the fine himself.

Following the Portman Road defeat, Bielsa was asked about the Spygate incident in his post-match press conference and gave a fiery response.

Here is the exchange in full.

Do you know enough about Derby and will you be spying on them again?

You know that it’s a crime to spy. Do you know that?

I didn't know it was a crime.

Do you know it was a crime?

So when you have a level of ignorance and you work as a journalist and when you have the right to ask questions and when you are lying in your answers and you don’t assume the irony and you keep telling that you ignore if spying is a crime or not, you deserve a response without any conclusion.

You make your question knowing that observing the opponent is now sanctioned, you know it perfectly, and that's why you ask this question.

And then you deny the fact that you know the answer and you know I received a sanction because of that.

That's why I don't understand your question.

I just thought that he might have a sense of humour about it. I meant no offence.

Is it a joke? If it was a joke, I didn't understand it. But it’s not because I don’t have a sense of humour.

But you’re not funny.
