Pep Guardiola believes that Barça's season will stand or fall on the next eight days. "With three games in the next week everything will be decided," he said as he looked ahead to the first encounter at Villarreal on Saturday.


After going out of the Champions League on Wednesday the Blaugrana boss remained upbeat. "I do not believe we are seeing a different team to before," he continued. "I have no doubt that they will compete like normal. We had a successful European campaign and there were a lot of reasons why we did not go through, but overall I am very pleased."

Nothing decided

"It will be decided on the penultimate or last day. We will give everything that we have although we know there is not much of the season left."

Villarreal strength

Villarreal have turned their season around and Guardiola has been impressed with the Yellow Submarine's form. "They are a very good side and have a good structure making them a stable club," he said. "They are a good side and can take points from us. I have said before that we are not perfect and we can be beaten, but we try to do all that we can."

Great goal

"I said to Tito (Vilanova, his assistant) what a great goal it was. He is becoming better and better and I hope he continues to improve. Txiki always wanted him back from Manchester United. He is young and is becoming a great player."

Election surprise
Despite the election for a new president only six weeks away Pep Guardiola has been impressed that there has been so little said about the event. "Everyone has been very good," he said. "I have been here at various times when things went on for a long time and there was a lot said about them. The team will keep going until the end of the season and I think that this will all help. The board of directors and the potential candidates have all behaved in an admirable way."
