During the press conference prior to tonight's match, Pep Guardiola warned that Real Madrid was "a top team", and he repeated that in the press room at the Bernabéu when he affirmed that "we’re very happy. Coming here and not losing is a good result. Madrid is a top, top, team".

A step towards the championship

"There are six games to go and we’ll try to win every game to be league champions”. Pep Guardiola knows that with the draw in Madrid the league title is a little closer, but he doesn’t want to hear the idea of Barça being champions already, "We are not champions yet, there are 18 points to play for, against teams that are playing for their lives”. In this sense Guardiola again reminded everybody that "there’s still a lot of battling and running to be done. I still think the game against Osasuna will be the toughest". Having said all that, he hasn’t forgotten that "we are closer to the season’s most important title”.

Good test before the Cup

Although from the first moment Guardiola wanted to differentiate between the League, Cup and Champions League games against Real Madrid, the Barça manager learned a few things prior to the Cup Final on Wednesday. "In terms of the Final, the draw is very good for us..... I’m really satisfied with my players behaviour" he said.

"We did very few things wrong"

Still talking about the game in Madrid, Guardiola said that "we did very few things wrong, we had the game under control and maybe we should have gone forward more after the 1-0”.
