The Catalan manager stated that he is concentrating on what lies ahead for La Blaugrana and does not have time to think about La Liga leaders. 
Barcelona stretched their winning run in La Liga to 10 consecutive matches as they comfortably dispatched threat from Getafe at the Camp Nou.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez were the scorer of La Blaugrana’s other two goals in the 4-0 rout.
The win allowed the outfit from Catalunya to further bridge the gap between themselves and La Liga leaders, Real Madrid. A single point remains between the two Spanish giants, with the reigning champions playing a game more.
Reflecting on the match, Pep Guardiola was pleased with the performance of his charges in front of the capacity home crowd, but refused to get carried away with their standings in the Primera Division table.
The 41-year-old tactician stated that they have to remain focused on their remaining matches and should not give in too much to what happens with Real Madrid.
Continuing on the topic, Guardiola remarked that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have a tough couple of away fixtures at hand until the end of the season, highlighting the threat posed by Levante and Rayo Vallecano.
“We did what we had to do, there is nothing we can do about the rest," the retired Spanish international said.
"We had a good match and now we have to focus on the hard matches we have ahead, especially the ones away from home.”
"The matches against Levante and Rayo Vallecano will tell us a lot about our future."
Guardiola was unfazed by the remarks of former Barca coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-c8330 Rexach, who claimed that Real Madrid are under pressure at the moment.
The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 player stated that everyone is under pressure to perform at the highest level and Los Blancos are no different.
"Clubs at this level have the right pressure," the Catalan tactician noted. "I did not watch their match against Villarreal, but they could have won their games against Malaga and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863."
Barcelona are on the road for their next La Liga fixture against Levante on Saturday, April 14, 2012.
