Meanwhile, FC
Barcelona boss said that he was also pleased with the performance of his
players
Gerard
Pique celebrated Barcelona's win over Eibar saying the team wanted to win the
league as soon as possible athough he added that the title race hasn't been
decided.
"Our
objective is to finish the league as soon as we can, the situation is good and
we have to continue in this line," he said in the Ipurua mixed zone.
"We
don't rule out any team that mathmatically can win the league, we know that
there are two and a half months of competition left and that we're in a good
position, but it's not over."
He added:
"We played a good game in a difficult stadium. We were concentrating from
the start, nobody relaxed."
Pique also
congratulated Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez who are fighting with Cristiano
Ronaldo for the Pichichi. "However many more goals those two can score,
the better it is for the team," he said.
On the
other hand, FC Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba said after Sunday’s win at Ipurua
against Eibar that the secret to the side’s success and their charge towards
the La Liga title “is that we all get on really well.” Jordi Alba
emphasised the team’s work rate against Eibar and celebrated the good run that
the side are currently on - 11 straight wins in the league and 36 matches
unbeaten in all competitions.
“We’re
doing well and we are enjoying a good dynamic. We want to win the league as
soon as possible, but we know there is still a long way to go,” he added.
He also
refused to rule Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid out of tracking Luis Enrique’s
side down at the top: “While it’s still mathematically possible, you have to
keep them in mind.”
To
finalise, The FC Barcelona manager saw his side thrash Eibar 4-0 at Ipurua but
said there would be nobody who believed the race for the league trophy will be
over before it mathematically is.
"There
are 30 points left to play for, the team knows that. We won't get distracted by
thinking we're champions ahead of time," explained the coach.
He was also pleased with the performance of his
players and, like after the Eibar game, explained that few teams can stop them
in this form. They have now gone 36 games unbeaten.
