Barcelona will clinch LaLiga "if we win all of our remaining games" says Ter Stegen
Barcelona dropped points at Sevilla last night, but goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is confident the team can bounce back to be crowned champions.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen feels sure that Barcelona will be crowned LaLiga champions - but to do so, they will need to win all of their remaining games. The blaugranas were held to a 0-0 draw by Sevilla on Friday, giving Real Madrid the chance to join them on 65 points when they visit Real Sociedad. Madrid would also hold the upper-hand thanks to their head-to-head record against Barcelona after their victory in El Clásico at the start of March.
But Ter Stegen believes Barcelona will clinch the title if they can win each of the eight games which remain. "We no longer depend on ourselves and we will be watching what the rivals do, but we are improving," the goalkeeper said, via Sport. "Defensively we are showing our best face and I am convinced that by winning all the remaining games we will be champions."
Barcelona's first draw in LaLiga since the Catalan derby in January
Barcelona dropped points for the first time since returning from the coronavirus-enforced break, but they are yet to concede in three games. However, Ter Stegen felt a draw against third-placed Sevilla was a fair result.
"I think we have played a good match, especially in the first half. We knew we were coming to the field of a very complicated team and we have dominated," he said. "All in all, I consider that the draw was fair, because Sevilla have also had good chances."
