Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano says the pressure is now on Barcelona to lift after their Champions League failure this week.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola admits his players are down after their European elimination.
"We have suffered important setbacks this year and the team has been able to rebound with great maturity. Let's see how they're able to handle this frustration, but Barcelona is a mature team and usually looks ready for big challenges," said Valdano.
