Barca wary of Madrid despite UCL elimination

Barcelona players and staff watched the return leg between Chelsea and Real Madrid, where the 'Blues' eliminated 'Los Blancos' at Stamford Bridge.

While the result could be perceived as a small step backwards in Madrid's hopes of fighting for La Liga, the Catalan side didn't look at it this way - according to reports from 'AS'.

The club are wary that the result could spur RM on in the last few weeks of the season. After all, if Madrid fail to win La Liga, they will end the season completely trophyless.

"You can never presume Madrid are dead", the veteran members of the squad said after 'Los Blancos' were eliminated from the Champions League.

Only four matches remain to find out who will be La Liga champion. Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla will be battling it out for the title.
