“We’re preparing for the game against Deportivo just as if it was any other game”.
“We have to be very strong mentally…at some moment we’re going to suffer but that’s normal especially when you’re the visiting side”, Luis Suarez told a news conference on Thursday.
Barca still believe they can do the league and cup double, and will be more in the mood to celebrate when both titles are in the bag. Let’s have a look at what’s left to play for on the last round of matches.
And then Saturday, 28 May it’s Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final.
“It’s a really special game that everyone wants to play in”.
Luis Enrique’s men enter Saturday’s clash with a one-point advantage over Real Madrid, who are the only other team that can win the 2015-16 championship. Pillars have faltered to get on top of the table in the past three weeks as they have lost matches that many thought they would win. Atletico had three straight 1-0 victories heading into Leavante, and they continued to lack offense in a 2-1 defeat. Barça striker Suarez is on 37 goals in the league and has Cristiano Ronaldo just four goals behind him – only one can finish up as a champion.
