Barca’s current position is three and they are just 5 points behind second-placed Sevilla. Xavi’s side can turn around the table as Sevilla dropped played four draws in the last five games and Barcelona secured 4 victories in the last five ties.
However, Xavi admits they need their El Classico rivals to slip up.
“La Liga is very difficult to win, or even to win at the Bernabeu,” said Xavi.
“They have only lost two games this season and we would need them to lose three or four more.
“We cannot be too optimistic about our chances.”
Barcelona will face Madrid in the season’s second El Classico on upcoming Sunday. It will be an opportunity to take revenge of the home loss.
