Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi says he wants to wrap up the title as soon as possible after helping his team move 11 points clear with a 2-0 win over Getafe.
After the victory, Cubarsi was asked if he wants to win the league by beating Real Madrid in El Clasico or before that match which would mean Los Blancos have to give their bitter rivals a guard of honor at Camp Nou.
Here’s what he had to say in response.
“We want to win the league only as soon as possible,” he told reporters.
“Everything is happening
so fast, I’m still processing all of it. But I’m happy the team is doing well. This was a key match to win and put us in a strong position in the league but we still have to give it our all.
“We knew we had to be very vigilant for the counter-attack opportunity against [Getafe]. It worked out well for me to recover possession for the first goal, and with space we have very good passers.
“We lacked solidity sometimes, but I was able to disrupt them. That gave us breathing room to look for the second goal on the counter-attack.”
Barcelona can actually win La Liga next weekend if results go their way. If Hansi Flick’s side beat Osasuna and Real Madrid drop points against Espanyol, Barca will be champions again.
