“We had been suffering”.

“Of course we have let a big lead slip but we are still set to win all four remaining matches”, said Enrique.
The victory kept the Catalan club ahead of its Madrid rivals, which also won their games on Wednesday.
Zinedine Zidane men played a superb game and earned all three points thanks to goals from Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez and Luka Modric.
Despite the rainfall in Barcelona, the Catalan team trained normally without tension that prevailed recently, after they lost 11 points in four games in the La Liga, reports Efe.
“It was a ideal result because it reinforces our situation, which had got hard with past results”, the Barcelona manager said. Our fans are wonderful and always get behind us. “That challenge is to retain the league title”. With four games to go, Barcelona will need to ensure that this performance wasn’t a blip and continue their marauding ways.
Lionel Messi made it 6-0 with 17 minutes left on the clock with a simple tap before Marc Bartra added a seventh in the 79th minute.
Suarez, who has netted 49 times in 48 appearances this season, has also claimed that Barcelona’s front three are “not machines” despite their incredible goal tallies since the start of the 2014-15 campaign. “We have sent out a strong message”. “I like it because it benefits us”, Ramos was quoted as saying by goal.com on Friday. We will keep going with our ideas and our football. “But we are in a situation where our opponents are punishing us without doing much”.
Barca face Sporting Gijon, Real Betis, Espanyol and Granada in their final games.
Sporting Gijon moved up to fourth from bottom and out of the relegation zone for the first time in five months, with a late 2-1 comeback defeat of Sevilla.
Luis Suarez is the first player to have a hand in 7 goals in a La Liga game in the 21st Century.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid make the trickt trip to Europa League Quarter-Finalists, Athletic Bilbao. None of the three should falter again.
“We have a tough game at Vallecas first and then we will think about the Champions League”.
Wins for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid mean that the title race remains tight. Atheltic Bilbao has way better defense than Sporting and I expect them to utilize it on Wednesday.

Barca had taken just one point from their last possible 12 in the league and been dumped out of the Champions League amidst a run of just one win in six games that threatened to derail their season.
