Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova insists La Liga is far from won despite opening up an 11-point lead over title rivals Real Madrid.

Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has insisted that the fight to win La Liga is very much alive despite opening up an 11-point gap over Real Madrid.

The Catalan side crushed Levante with four second-half goals to stay three points ahead of Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.

Lionel Messi continued his incredible season with a brace while Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas got in on the act to make short work of a Levante side competing in the Europa League.

Vilanova told reporters: "The league is not finished. Firstly because we've only played third of it, and then because Atletico are behind us and are very strong.

"There's still a lot to play for, 75 points is a lot. Also, remember that in the first year that we were 11 points clear of Real Madrid and had to go to the Bernabeu and win.

"Atletico have had a good start, which isn't a surprise as they finished last season very strongly. All we can do is focus on beating Athletic. I want to focus only on us."

Jose Mourinho's side have it all to do after the reigning champions slipped to a shock defeat at Real Betis on Saturday.
