Intro:
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola spoke to the media on his return to Barcelona on Tuesday, looking ahead to the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between his current and former clubs.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Josep "Pep" Guardiola, Bayern Munich manager:
"If (Lionel) Messi continues playing the way he has done in the past three or fourth months then he will be unstoppable. There is neither a good defence nor a good coach that can stop him. He is too good. So we must think of stopping him in a different way. We must stay close to him and don't let him touch the ball. But even if we close around him he will find a way to squeeze in. You can't defend talent, not a talent of that magnitude."
SOUNDBITE: (German) Josep "Pep" Guardiola, Bayern Munich manager:
"It is almost impossible for us to reach the final if we don't score. It is hard to play here and almost impossible to score. But we must do what we can. That is the idea."
SOUNDBITE: (German) Josep "Pep" Guardiola, Bayern Munich manager:
"If we score then we will be very happy. Don't doubt it: I want to win. Barcelona has played a very important role in my life. It was everything to me. But I am here to win. And we have prepared during all these days and weeks so we can display our best level here. We've won the Bundesliga (German title) and we will be very happy if we score. But I can't tell how I will react if we score here."
