Xavi Hernandez was asked about Barcelona's title chances in press conference on Sunday with Real Madrid traveling to Sevilla.
After the setback of being knocked out of the Europa League by Frankfurt, the Barça coach was visibly affected, especially given the ticket fiasco surrounding the game and the injury picked up by Pedri.
However, with Cadiz coming on Monday, Barça have to change chip. That will be easier if Madrid lose at Sevilla on Sunday.
"Let's see what happens, it will be an interesting game," Xavi said. "We will have an eye on it but what matters to us is what we do against Cadiz.""
Asked if a Madrid loss would breathe life into the title race, he added: "If we don't win the eight games we have left, no.
"First, we have to focus on ourselves. The first objective is to qualify for the Champions League next season. If after that we can compete for LaLiga, perfect."
