„Barcelona“ team strategist Ernesto Valverde is in a very good position. After 19 rounds of the „La Liga“ championship, „Barca“ is in first place with 51 points, while Madrid's „Atletico“ in second place is 9 points behind.
Meanwhile, Madrid's „Real“ has played one fewer match, but is lagging behind the Catalans by 19 points and is in fourth place.
However, „Barca“ coach E. Valverde does not believe that the "royal club" has already given up in the title race.
„Maybe „Real“ sees other teams that are closer in the standings and they talk about it, but I don't think any team has given up in the „La Liga“ championship.
„Atletico“ certainly hasn't given up, „Valencia“ hasn't given up, and certainly „Real“ doesn't think about it, despite the fact that the difference is really big and very important. I wouldn't give up and I don't think they did either“, - said E. Valverde.
