"Defeating Malaga is very important, regardless of what Barcelona do in their own game. Our duty is to just think about our next match. This is the only way by which we can reduce the point difference."

"We failed to win in Pamplona and Bilbao. I think we did a good job in both games, but the ball sometimes doesn't seem to want to go in the goal. We have to work hard to improve on this."

"We have to stay firm at home. We cannot think about the end of La Liga when there are still 60 points at stake in the competition. We must focus on each game at a time."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is calm. Failing to score may sometimes make a player anxious, but I don't think that is the case with him. What really matters is that the team wins and scores as many goals as it possibly can. Cristiano will score again; it's only a matter of time."
