"The intention of my words about the Cup final, which provoked that marvellous comment from the Real Madrid coach, is not that which he has tried to give it. He can believe me or he can believe what he reads, but it's true that it's in his interest to believe what he has read before he believes me," continued Guardiola.

In regards to the match, he confirmed that Andres Iniesta will be out with a calf problem and added that it would be down to the referee to stop any over aggressive play.

Earlier in the evening, midfielder Javier Mascherano spoke of his irritation that Real Madrid had tried to cause controversy in the run up to the game.

"It is easy to take things out of context, all of us know what the coach meant to say and it nothing to do with what some had made it out to be. It hurts, when there is a big game, every word should be measured."

"Our coach never tried to criticize a referee, but to show how close we were to winning the Cup. What annoys me is that all the time it seems that we talk less and less about football, we are on the verge of an historic semifinal and we are talking about other things," commented the midfielder.
