Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique, has admitted they will have one eye on Real Madrid’s game at Malaga on Sunday and insisted they will fight until the end for the La Liga title.
Barca must win their last game of the season at home against Eibar and hope Madrid lose at La Rosaleda, if they are to win their third consecutive league title under Enrique.
“Of course I am interested [in the Madrid game] but it would be ridiculous to be following it closely and worrying what’s happening,” Luis Enrique said in a news conference on Saturday.
“I have to focus on the Eibar game, but of course I will have an eye on the Madrid score, too.”
A win at Granada gave Barca the title on the final day of last season, but the Catalans went into that game with their destiny in their hands.
This year, Madrid hold that advantage, as they seek to win a first title in five years.
“We don’t depend on ourselves, but we will fight until the end,” he added.
“The only thing we can do is get three points. If that’s not enough, we will congratulate the champions.
“It’s very different to previous final days, when we did depend on ourselves. This time we don’t, which shows we have not done things quite as well as in past seasons — but it also shows what a fine line there is between success and failure.”
