Atletico Madrid forward David Villa has called on his side to remain focused as they attempt to secure the La Liga title this season.
The capital outfit's 2-0 defeat at Levante on Sunday opened up the title race in Spain, but Diego Simeone's side will win the league if they take four points from their final two league games.
"For us there are no surprises. The only reality is that if we win the last two matches we are champions," he told reporters at a press conference.
"I imagine that the thinking of Barcelona will be the same. Out of the three teams, we are the best placed because our destiny is in our own hands.
"We know it is very difficult to win a league championship. We knew it would be difficult right until the last minute, so our idea of working and just winning the next match has not changed. Nothing else matters. We need to win on Sunday and, depending on other results, set out to win at Camp Nou. That's the only thought we have on our minds."
Villa won the title with Barcelona last season.
