BARCELONA coach Xavi Hernandez believes if Real Madrid have given up on La Liga, it is because of his side’s superb season, he told a news conference Sunday.
“Tomorrow it’s important to increase the gap to 15 points. It won’t mean anything is sealed, but it would be a spectacular distance.
“It doesn’t interest me if Madrid do something or don’t, what interests me is what we do.”
Madrid are in the Copa del Rey final and face Chelsea on Wednesday in a Champions League quarter-final first leg clash.
Xavi said he thinks Barcelona winning the top flight for the first time since 2019 would be a magnificent achievement which some are trying to “minimise”.
“Winning La Liga is incredible, winning the league gives you stability,” added the coach.
“I remember (former Real Madrid coach Zinedine) Zidane, after winning the Champions League, saying that the objective was to win La Liga.
“It’s being minimised that winning a league, for us, would be extraordinary.”
