Garcia: Such matches decide the league, and Real Madrid is under pressure

Barcelona player Eric Garcia spoke to the press after the 1-0 victory over Leganes in the 31st round of La Liga at the Butarque Stadium.

He said: "The coach warned us about Leganes' results against the big teams. In the first half, they affected us with their counter-attacks. In the second half, we lost some dangerous balls. The most important thing is the three points."

He added: "They beat us at home. Las Palmas did the same. We knew that winning this match would increase the pressure on Real Madrid."

He continued: "Such matches decide the league. We achieved a good result."

He concluded: "The team is in good shape, and we continue in the same way. We hope that Balde's injury won't be prolonged. We are all excited. Xavi has given us all a chance; the upcoming matches are all like finals."
