Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has told his players to forget about Real Madrid and turn their focus on Saturday's match away to Real Sociedad.
Guardiola believes the fixture at the Anoeta in San Sebastian will be key to deciding the Primera Division title.

Barca head to Sociedad on the back of a high-profile Champions League match against Real Madrid which hit the headlines as much for the spats either side of it as for the football on the pitch.
With both clubs now in trouble with the footballing authorities, it would be easy to forget there is still a league title at stake.
With five games to go, Barca have an eight-point advantage over their fierce rivals.
Even so, Guardiola feels Saturday evening's match is crucial.
"It's an absolute priority," he told the club's website. "We have to be very aware that much of the league title depends on what we do at what is always a tough ground.
"If we don't focus our five senses on that, we won't do it.
"Tomorrow we're playing for a competition that lasts 11 months.
"It was hard against Almeria, against Osasuna, and I sense this game will also be difficult. Mathematically we are seven points away from the league title and every win means a huge step."
Lionel Messi, scorer of both goal's in Wednesday's win, is set to miss out after picking up a knock against Madrid, while Carles Puyol is likely to be rested after returning from injury at the Bernabeu.
Pedro is also carrying a knock and is doubtful, while Andres Iniesta, Bojan Krkic, Eric Abidal, Maxwell and Adriano are all sidelined.
Real Sociedad's form in the second half of the season has been poor and the Basques are just three points above the relegation zone.
Few will give the promoted side any hope of beating Barca, but midfielder Xabi Prieto believes an upset may be on the cards.
"If we play well, we have a good chance," he said.
Raul Tamudo, so often a thorn in Barca's side during his time at Espanyol, added: "Sporting (Gijon) made life difficult for them - why not us?"
Joseba Llorente is set to miss out again through injury.

Timu 24 zathibitisha kushiriki Taifa Cup Send to a friend Saturday, 30 April 2011 10:15

ZIKIWA bado siku chache kabla ya kuanza kwa mikikimikiki ya kuwania Kombe la Taifa (Kili Taifa Cup 2011) timu zote 24 zitakazoshiriki mashindano hayo zimethibitisha usajili wake wa wachezaji ndani ya muda uliopangwa.

Michuano hiyo inatarajia kuanza kutimua vumbi Mei 7 katika vituo sita ambavyo vimepangwa kwa ajili ya hatua ya kwanza ya mashindano hayo ambapo kila kituo kitakuwa na timu nne.

Akizungumza na Mwanachi jana Ofisa Habari wa Shirikisho Soka Tanzania (TFF), Boniface Wambura alisema mara baada ya zoezi hilo kinachofuatia sasa ni muda wa pingamizi kwa wachezaji wote ambao watakuwa hawana sifa za kuitumikia mikoa hiyo kwa mujibu wa kanuni za mashindano hayo.

"Siku ya Mwisho ya kuweka pingamizi kwa wachezaji ni Mei 2 wakati siku ya mwisho ya Kamati ya Mashindano kuthibitisha usajili ni Mei 3,"alisema Wambura.Alisema,"Baada ya zoezi hilo timu zote zinatakiwa kuwasili katika vituo vyao Mei 5 na mashindano hayo yatanza kutimua vumbi Mei 7."

Katika hatua nyingine Wambura alisema mpaka sasa hakuna kituo cha televisheni ambacho kimepata haki ya kuonyesha mashindano hayo.

Alisema baada ya TFF kutangaza zabuni hiyo ya kuonyesha moja kwa moja (live) mashindano hayo vilijitokeza vituo viwili tu kutaka haki hiyo, lakini kituo kimoja kilijitoa kutokana na sababu za kiufundi wakati kingine kilishindwa kufikia dau ambalo limewekwa na shirikisho hilo.

Dau hilo mbalo TFF ililitangaza kwa lengo la kupata haki hiyo ni Tsh 10 milioni, lakini mpaka sasa hakuna televisheni yoyote yenye haki ya kuonyesha mashindano hayo hivyo shirikisho hilo bado linakaribisha vituo vyote vyenye nia ya kuonesha mashindano hayo kwa ajili ya mazungumzo.
