26.11.2012

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova said that the main rival of his team for the title in La Liga during this season will be Atletico Madrid.

Catalans are leaders in the standings after the 13th round with 37 points and Atletico are second with 34, while the champion Real Madrid is far behind on third place with 26 points.

"La Liga is not over yet. First, because we only played 1/3 of the season and then because Atletico is behind us and it is very strong, "said Villanova in view of the remaining 25 rounds until the end.

"There is still much to play, 75 points is a lot. Also remember that the first year we led with 11 points ahead of Real and had to go at Bernabeu and to win. "

"Atletico Madrid had a good start, which is no surprise because they finished last season very strong. All we can do is to concentrate on the match against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. I want to stay focused only on us, "said Tito Vilanova after 4:0 win as a guest of Levante on Sunday.
