Chronicle EditorBARCELONA. — Barcelona boss Luis Enrique claimed his side are capable of winning their final five Spanish La Liga soccer games to claim the title despite slipping to a fourth defeat in five games as they were beaten 2-1 by Valencia on Sunday.
The Catalans hadn’t tasted defeat in 39 games until losing to Real Madrid earlier this month, but have since thrown away a nine-point lead at the top of La Liga and been dumped out the Champions League by Atletico Madrid. Barca still lead La Liga thanks to their superior head-to-head record with Atletico with Real a point behind in third, but now need to win all five remaining games against Deportivo la Coruna, Sporting Gijon, Real Betis, Espanyol and Granada. — AFP.
