Barcelona want to win LaLiga ´as soon as possible´ – Cubarsi unconcerned with potential Clasico cele

Pau Cubarsi says Barcelona will not delay sealing the LaLiga title to celebrate against Real Madrid in their upcoming Clasico meeting on May 10.

Hansi Flick’s side moved one step closer towards defending their league title with a 2-0 win over Getafe on Saturday, with goals from Fermin Lopez and Marcus Rashford securing victory at the Coliseum.

That result ended a five-match run without a win against Getafe for the Blaugrana (D4 L1), which marked both their longest-ever winless run away to the Azulones and their longest winless away streak against any opponent in LaLiga.

Saturday’s victory has put them 11 points clear of Los Blancos with five matches left to play this season, though Cubarsi insisted the focus is on securing the title at the earliest opportunity rather than waiting for a potential celebration against Madrid at the Camp Nou.

When asked whether he would prefer a guard of honour in Barcelona’s next match against Osasuna or a title celebration against Madrid in El Clasico the following matchday, the Spaniard was unequivocal in his response.

“We want to win the league only as soon as possible,” he told reporters.

“Everything is happening so fast, I’m still processing all of it. But I’m happy the team is doing well. This was a key match to win and put us in a strong position in the league but we still have to give it our all.

“We knew we had to be very vigilant for the counter-attack opportunity against [Getafe]. It worked out well for me to recover possession for the first goal, and with space we have very good passers.

“We lacked solidity sometimes, but I was able to disrupt them. That gave us breathing room to look for the second goal on the counter-attack.”

Barcelona are without doubt the standout side in Spain this season, having found the net in each of their 33 league matches and kept a clean sheet in 14 of the 33 – more than any other side in the league on both counts.

They have also scored in their last 53 LaLiga games – their longest scoring run in the competition since a run of 64 between February 2012 and October 2013.

Flick also echoed Cubarsi’s sentiments about focusing on the present, adding: “The most important thing is today; we don’t want to think about anything else. We have to celebrate only when it’s done.

“We wanted to play our game today. I really appreciate what I’ve seen from the team with and without the ball.”
