After being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Barcelona arrived in the Spanish capital ready to fight for LaLiga, the only title they can still dream of, but which is now very far away after the defeat by 3 to 2 for Real Madrid.
“They almost guaranteed LaLiga, but we’re not going to let our guard down, we’re going to try to keep adding points, but it’s very difficult,” admitted Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández after the game.
“It’s not over yet, there are six games left, but obviously the League title is very difficult. Not impossible, but very difficult,” added Xavi, who is saying goodbye to the Catalan club.
Barcelona’s deficit in the Spanish Championship in relation to Real Madrid reached 11 points, with only 18 points up for grabs at the end of the competition. The Catalan team returns to the field on the 29th (Monday), against Valencia, at home.
