Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra has urged his team-mates not to “worry” about Barcelona but to concentrate on their own game.
“We are five points behind, just two games. In football things can go very fast. We just have to concentrate on improving the results when we play away from home, keep our form at the Bernabeu and not worry of what Barcelona do," the former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder told Marca.
While Lass was reportedly cautious to avoid certain topics, he did discuss the team's trip to Albania yesterday.
“It's a game we had to play and we did,” said the Frenchman in regards to the friendly match against Gramozi Erseke. “We went and came back the same day, it is true that we were late but now we need to recover and think about the next game."
When asked about the imminent exit of Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, Diarra admitted it was all just part and parcel of playing for a club as big as Real Madrid.
“Every day players arrive or leave Real Madrid. I do not think about it and concentrate purely on playing.”
Finally, the 24-year-old revealed he was not too downhearted following Madrid's defeat to Bilbao last week, saying it was important the club moved forward.
“These things happen in football. From Bilbao we will work to improve and look to score in our next matches."
