El-Classico Will Not Decide The Spanish League- Barcelona Coach

 
Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique has said that winning the El Classico does not determine who wins the Spanish league this season.
The Blaugrana will welcome the Galacticos to the Nou Camp on Sunday evening for the second leg of what appears to the mother or all rivalries at the moment in football, with the Luis Enrique's side on top of the league table with just one point ahead of the Carlo Ancelotti's men, who lost to Schalke 04 in their champions league second leg, but progressed to the next round on an away goal advantage.

Barcelona are considered favourites to extend that advantage after beating Man City last Wednesday at the Camp Nou and also have 17 wins in 18 games in all competitions at home this season.

The former Celta Vigo gaffer believes that with Barca still set to face the likes of Spanish champions Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla in the final 10 games of the season, Enrique believes there will be more twists and turns to come after this weekend.

"Independent of the result I don't think it will be decisive," Enrique said on Saturday

"There are still 10 games to go and there are too many difficult games for both teams, so it is not decisive but important."

By contrast, Madrid come into the game having lost five of their 16 games in 2015 to relinquish pole position in the title race.

"Generally, we have to think that in this type of game there aren't favourites.

"There is a lot at stake and the two teams have players that are out of this world.

"Playing at home is important, though, because it can help in terms of motivation and intensity."

Barcelona could also be boosted by the presence of Sergio Busquets, who has made a quicker recovery than expected from a sprained ankle.

The Spanish international trained with his teammates on Saturday, but Enrique refused to confirm whether he will start having been sidelined since suffering the injury against Villarreal on March 4.

"Busquets could be an option," added Enrique.

"He isn't 100 percent which is normal. He has trained the past three days. He isn't in perfect condition, but he is available which is important for us."
