Barcelona boss Josep Guardiola has warned his side that tonight’s game against Shakhtar Donetsk is not a friendly. The Catalans hold an impressive 5-1 lead from the first leg at the Camp Nou and, despite often struggling on their Champions League travels, are widely tipped to ease through to the semi-finals.
But Guardiola has warned his side against treating the game like a friendly and to focus on the matter at hand, rather than the upcoming Clasico against Real Madrid at the weekend.
"Every game is preparation for the next one", admitted Guardiola. "The next game is always the most important and the next is enough. We travel quietly for physiological reasons. But tomorrow, it is not a friendly."
And the Barcelona boss admitted he feels his side need to score in the Ukraine.
"We will play as usual. The idea is to score one or two goals and win. We must be very careful as we play against a good team."
