Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola has responded to a recent comment made by Mourinho that Barcelona is already through to the final. Rather he believes that any of the four teams can make it to the final.

Guardiola thanked the Real Madrid manager for the faith he has in his team but insisted that any of the four teams can make it to the final.

Speaking during a press conference Guardiola said:

"I can only thank Mourinho for his faith in Barcelona.

"We appreciate that he thinks we can make it to the final. However, all four teams can reach the final.

"Am I tired of these mind games? No they are a part of the job."

Focusing on the semi final match against Chelsea, the former Spain midfielder acknowledged their opponent as an experienced team with fantastic players.

"Chelsea is a very experienced team, and they have always been one of the top clubs in recent years. They have some fantastic players and are one of the biggest clubs in Europe. There are no easy opponents at this stage of the competition."

The first leg of the semi final between Chelsea and Barcelona will take place at the Stamford Bridge on the 18th of April.
