Barcelona Clinch Second-Straight La Liga Title On Messi Goal

Apr 27, 2019 8:33 PM

Barcelona have clinched back-to-back La Liga titles following a goal from Messi to beat Levante 1-0.

"Messi was always ready to come on and I always knew he was going to play but we also have a game on Wednesday. He has to stay active and he scores goals everywhere he goes and he has won us this title. It is very difficult to win this title, without the amount of teams we are competing with, especially with this margin. We have done it two years in a row and it's fantastic to see the fans celebrate the title like this at home. Now we want to go and celebrate it," said Ernesto Valverde.

The title is Barcelona's 26th in team history, including 8 out of the last 11 leagues.

Pep Guardiola: Manchester City Will Have To Win Every Game For Title

Apr 14, 2019 2:31 PM

Pep Guardiola stated that Manchester City must win every match to retain their title following a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

“We’ll have to win every game if we want to make back-to-back titles, we know that and the players have shown they want to do it. No doubts. Why should I not trust them to continue [handling the nerves]? For a month in the Premier League we’ve known it’d be almost impossible … no, possible but very difficult, to win the title if we dropped points," said Guardiola.

Guardiola added that the side's personality will carry them through this tough stretch.

“This game was really good after the Champions League defeat because the stage was not easy,” said Guardiola, whose side’s winning run in the league started at the beginning of February. “We’ve played every three days [through] December, January and February but, even if we are not fresh, we have the personality for the games."
