With the advantages possessed, continued Guardiola, Real remains a very dangerous opponent, regardless of whether they choose to play attacking or appear to survive in the match at the Nou Camp later. "All (the tactics they play) dangerous," said 41-year-old coach.
"If you press play, then they are also difficult for you. If they stick around and wait more you attack, (if careless) line of defense you can lock and you can put a halt behind in their counterattack."
Guardiola said his team focused on preparing for the game against Real, to not leave room for other things in mind, including the case of Pepe. As reported, Pepe stepped on the foot of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, on the first leg and free from the punishment of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
