Real Madrid will play Barcelona on Wednesday in the semi-final of the champions league and the mind games have already begun.
Pep Guardiola has come out and said that Real Madrid are the favorites to win the first leg, Madrid beat Barcelona 1-0 in the final of the Copa del Rey just days ago.
"We accept that Madrid are in the role of favourites in the Champons League. I understand that is so, because they won the Copa and they are [playing] well," Pep said.
"We also accept the challenge. We have great faith in ourselves and I have faith more than anything in my players," the 40-year-old continued.
There is a possibility that the referee for the game will be from Portugal, 'The Special One's home country, something Guardiola feels Mourinho will not be displeased with.
"If so I think the coach of Real Madrid will be very happy," he added.
Barcelona won 2-0 against Osasuna and have an advantage of 8 points over Real Madrid in the La Liga.
