Mourinho had criticised Guardiola at an earlier news conference on Tuesday for comments attributed to the Barca coach about a refereeing decision in last week's King's Cup final when a Pedro effort for his team was ruled out for offside.
Guardiola responded by telling reporters he had been misinterpreted and he was not going to be drawn into what he called Mourinho’s game of “constant insinuation”.
“Because Mr Mourinho used my name directly I will do the same,” he said. “We worked together for four years. He knows me and I know him and that’s what I will remember and focus on.
The Barca coach said he and his players would do their talking on the pitch on Wednesday. “Tomorrow at 8.45 pm we will meet on the pitch -- away from it he (Mourinho) has already won. I award him his own personal Champions League for that, that he can take home and enjoy, he said.
