The prediction was immediately denied by Messi. The Argentine player did not want to cross out Atletico and Madrid in the competition for the La Liga title, as the way is still ahead until the end of the 2018-19 season.

“No (crossing Atletico and Madrid), because the road is still long. But this victory (against Sevilla) is very important because it means winning here and still keeping a distance from our rivals,” Messi told BeIN Sports.

“Now more than anything, you have to use your head (think calmly). Every time, everything becomes harder to win, so we leave here (Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan) with happiness.

“We know what it’s like (difficult) to play here and what kind of players they have. The game was challenging for us, but we were able to move forward. You can’t always play at a great level. We will go through times where we don’t play well, “said Messi.

With a good performance, Barcelona are ready to play two El Clasico streaks against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg with 1-1 goals on aggregate (28/2) and on week 26 LaLiga (3/3). Both taking place at Santiago Bernabeu.

“Everything is important. We have said from the start. We just stayed one step towards the tournament finals (Copa del Rey) and we have to put everything in. The situation will be very difficult in Madrid, but we have to go there to win. We are confident we can win in Madrid “Messi explained.
