Guardiola keeps focus on Barca

Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has chosen to put the mind games employed by Jose Mourinho to one side ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg at the Nou Camp.

Guardiola led Barca to a historic haul of six trophies in his first year in charge, but the Catalans' hopes of repeating last season's Champions League success are in the balance after they lost 3-1 at Inter Milan last week.

It was the first time a Guardiola-led Barca had lost a match by two goals and the Catalans will need a stirring fightback to advance to the final, which takes place at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu on May 22.

Mourinho spoke of Barca's obsession of winning the title at their fierce rivals' home ground and hinted that the Catalans go down too easily.

But the Barca coach, who worked with Mourinho when the Portuguese coach was an assistant to Sir Bobby Robson and Louis Van Gaal at the Nou Camp, believes his players must focus on their own game.

He said: "It's a game of football, not a magic night, and we have to be ourselves - we will go out and try to generate as many chances as we always do."
