La Liga is almost won. These six points (Real Betis and Osasuna) were very important to us after the defeat in Vallecas. Now we’re waiting for what happens in San Sebastián. These six points are a giant step.” Barcelona strengthens its lead in the La Liga standings table for the current season with 82 points, 14 full points from runner-up Real Madrid, with 68 points.
