In Spain, the fight for the title of Spanish champion is not without suspense. Xavi knows how to feed this one.
On Saturday, FC Barcelona won largely (4-0) at Camp Nou against Getafe, on the 26th day of La Liga. Thanks to this success, the Catalans regain second place in the standings, five lengths behind Real Madrid. For Xavi, winning the title at the end of the season is always an achievable goal.
“I always said we wouldn’t throw in the towel, I think we’ve taken a step forward. We have just taken 15 points out of 15, or rather 13, right? Well, we are in a good period in the Championship, so we have to believe in it”declared the 44-year-old Spanish technician on Saturday evening in a post-match press conference.
The title for Barça is possible
“We have to believe in it until the end, until it is no longer mathematically possible. But I think it’s possible. We put pressure on Girona, who we overtook in the standings today, and we put pressure on Real Madrid to win their matches.”continues the former midfielder, who will leave his position as Barça coach at the end of the season.
This Sunday evening, Real Madrid will have the opportunity to regain an eight-point lead over their pursuer and eternal rival. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will welcome Sevilla FC to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium at 9 p.m.
