"It has been hard for us in recent games and it will be hard tomorrow, but we have to keep our mentality. We go back to Anoeta after four years against a side that is fighting to avoid relegation while we have to take a big step to the title in the middle of our champions league tie. We want to make an almost definitive step to be just 4 points off mathematically winning the title," commented Guardiola.
Barcelona have several players out for the game and Leo Messi is also a doubt with physical problems, as a result Guardiola has called 17-year-old Gerard Deulofeu into his first team squad.
"We have a lot of players out so we called up Gerard, he' s very young and working well. He has to improve, but he has things that we think can make him a key player for us for the B-team or the first team."
"We are playing for the league and recent experience shows we have a big part of the league at stake in a difficult game," concluded Guardiola.
