Luis Enrique says that any result other than a win against Real Madrid in Sunday’s Clasico would leave Barcelona’s La Liga title hopes in tatters.
Recent defeats at Deportivo La Coruna and Malaga have seen Barca lose ground on league leaders Madrid, who begin this weekend with a three-point cushion at the top of the table.
A defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday could therefore leave Barca six points adrift of Zinedine Zidane’s side, having played one game more and with just five matches of the season left to play.
