Barcelona coach Luis Enrique plays down talk of La Liga title

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique refuses to get ahead of himself and dream of the La Liga title.

Luis Enrique has insisted that Barcelona still have work to do before they can even think about winning La Liga this season.

The Catalans pulled off a 2-0 win away to local rivals Espanyol on Saturday to move five points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, who play Celta Vigo this evening.

Enrique's side still have five games left to negotiate before they can clinch the title, and the 44-year-old says that he is not looking too far ahead.

"You don't make a living out of looking ahead," he told reporters. "What matters are points and those come from winning games. There are five left and they are all super-important.

"It is still in our own hands and that's the positive thing. Today was a difficult match because it's a derby and because of the opponent.

We will approach the rest of the season the same as we have today. We won't change that in the most important stretch.I'm not worried that the players are going to lose their focus. We know that all matches are tricky. It will be difficult from here until the end of the season."

The Blaugrana remain on course for a first treble since 2009, with a Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid on the horizon, as well as a Champions League semi-final with Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
