Barcelona boss Luis Enrique calm ahead of final two games

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique insists that his team are calm ahead of their final two games in La Liga, starting with Sunday's derby against Espanyol.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has insisted that his team are "not in a delicate situation" in La Liga, despite pressure from both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid entering their final two games.

As it stands, the Catalan outfit are top of the table on 85 points, but only lead second-placed Atletico on the head-to-head record.

Victory against Espanyol on Sunday and away to Granada next weekend would secure another championship for Barcelona, however, and Enrique is still confident that his team will get over the line.

"There is no point in discussing next week's game. We have to focus on winning against Espanyol and then we will see if we are already champions. We could be crowned champions on Sunday and we are the only team with that option," Enrique told reporters.

"We are not in a delicate situation. We won our last three games 8-0, 6-0 and 2-0. We lost our lead because our rivals won their games. But you win the title over 38 games. You don't get any presents in La Liga."

Barcelona will win the title this weekend if they beat Espanyol, Atletico lose to Levante and Real Madrid fail to beat Valencia.
