BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has called on his team to quickly turn the page on its Copa del Rey defeat to Real Madrid by securing a third straight Spanish league trophy.
Guardiola says his players must "react'' against Osasuna Saturday since that is their "job and responsibility. If they are sad they need to run more and that way the pain will pass.''
Cristiano Ronaldo headed home an extra-time winner Wednesday as Madrid beat Barcelona 1-0 for its first domestic cup in 18 years and first win over the Catalan club with Guardiola in charge.
Barcelona holds an eight-point lead over Madrid with six rounds to play and Guardiola calls the league "vital.''
Guardiola says his team will not waver from its usual attacking style.
