Jose Mourinho reveals that Pep Guardiola's departure from Barcelona has no effect on his Real Madrid team for next season.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that Pep Guardiola's exit from Barcelona will change nothing for his team.

Guardiola will end his successful reign at Barcelona after finishing the current campaign but Mourinho believes that managerial activity at the Catalan club will not have any effect on the two clubs' rivalry.

Mourinho said: "I don't know why it would benefit us.

"Real Madrid is Real Madrid, Real Madrid will continue along its own path, Real Madrid has its own decisions to make. My decision to continue at Real Madrid has nothing to do with who is the coach of any other team.

"Knowing with absolute certainty that next season, however much our other [La Liga] opponents improve, Barcelona will be our great rival for the Spanish title. For us it changes nothing."

Mourinho's team would secure the La Liga title with a win over Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.
