Barça's Xavi says he will not rotate vs. Celta with Inter in mind

The Barcelona coach is only focused on picking up three points in LaLiga

For Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez there is only one important game: Sunday's against Celta Vigo at Camp Nou.

What comes after -- Inter Milan and Real Madrid -- is not on his mind right now and he says he will not rotate against Celta.

"We will go with the team we feel is the best," he said. "Obviously we will have any discomfort, tiredness or excess of games in mind... but we will not reserve anything for Inter, we are only thinking about tomorrow."

It was a clear message from Xavi, who considers that the games against Inter, vital for Barça's Champions League hopes, and Real Madrid, always key in the title race, are not important right now.

Xavi knows that with a win on Sunday, Barça will keep their place at the top of the table ahead of the Clasico and the sensation will be good going into Wednesday's 'final' against Inter at Camp Nou.

Barça have a lot at stake. After losing to Inter on Tuesday, they have to beat them this week to keep alive their hopes of making the last 16 of the Champions League.
