Guardiola goes on the attack

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola says his team will set out to attack in next weekend’s Clasico against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite holding an eight-point lead over Jose Mourinho’s side with only seven league games remaining.

Madrid thrashed Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at San Mames on Saturday evening and Barca came from behind to beat Almeria 3-1 at home straight afterwards, meaning little has changed at the top of the table ahead of the Clasico.
