"Barcelona" center-back Gerard Pique remained optimistic after the team's third consecutive loss in the Spanish league and claimed that they will win the remaining five matches.
After withdrawing from the UEFA Champions League, "Barca" is also showing very poor results in the Spanish "Primera" championship. A few weeks ago, Luis Enrique's team had a 9-point advantage, but now they are tied with Madrid's "Atletico" and have only a one-point lead over Madrid "Real."
"Barca" has failed to win four consecutive matches in Spain. Yesterday, they were defeated by "Valencia" with a score of 1-2, but after the match, G. Pique mentioned that they will win the remaining five matches and the "Primera" title will be theirs.
"We see ourselves as capable of winning the remaining five matches," the defender said. "Such failures come more from psychological preparation than physical condition."
"The team is the same as it was two or three weeks ago. Before the 'Valencia' game, we played well and deserved to win. I am convinced that the 'Primera' title will be ours," added G. Pique.
On Wednesday, "Barca" faces another serious test in Spain. In La Coruna, the Catalans will face the determined "Deportivo."
