The Real Madrid playmaker spoke in a concillatory tone after watching the Blaugrana's draw against Real Betis on Sunday and does not believe the crisis at Camp Nou is incontrolable.

"I saw the game on Sunday and they had all the opportunties," he said. "If everything had been fine then they would have won the game easily.

"They are not playing badly as people say. They are going through a difficult time, more on a mental level than on a physical level.

"Barcelona are only demoralised. They just need one good result to believe in themselves again and there is no better place than the Calderón to forget their mini-crisis.

"They are a great team and I am sure that they will continue to fight for the title until the last day."

Having experienced life at the Bernabéu when trophies have been hard to come by over the past four seasons, Guti understands what the pressure to perform can be like.

But he does not think that the Barça players have lost their way having lifted the Champions League last season, as some pundits in Spain have suggested.

"I do not think that players stops having the desire to win trophies and even less so if he plays for Barcelona or Real Madrid," he continued.

"At these clubs everything is great if you are winning things and playing well, but very difficult to be at if you are not."
