While talking to reporters, the 29-year-old was quoted as saying:
"We have an advantage [over Barca] which means a lot and does not mean that much at the same time. We know that Barca are very strong and that they have great players, so we will have to be very alert until we have mathematically won the title."
The last time the Spanish capital-based club were able to secure the Spanish crown was in 2008. They have been attempting to claim the title again without success in the past three years.
