Lucho’s refusing to give up on the title just yet
Luis Enrique is remaining optimistic after Real Madrid and Barcelona both picked up 4-1 wins on Sunday to ensure the title race will go to the final day.
The two teams are locked on 87 points at the top of the table and although Barcelona have the superior head-to-head, Madrid are favourites as they have two games left to play.
Los Blancos travel to Celta on Wednesday before finishing off against Malaga although Enrique insists those games may be tougher than they look.
Barcelona were beaten 4-3 at Celta back in October and also lost 2-0 at Malaga last month leading the Barca boss to claim Madrid have not won the title yet.
"They have two very difficult games against two teams, Celta and Malaga, who we have lost against this season
“And if we have lost there then anyone can lose there. And I want to point out that we have lost in Vigo many times.”

Ivan Rakitic is also, publically at least, refusing to give up hope although the fact remains the title is out of Barcelona’s hands.
"Of course Real Madrid can still slip up in Vigo or Malaga. Those are two difficult stadiums to play in.
"What we have to do is rest and focus on what we can do, which is to prepare Sunday's match as best we can.
"We'll wait for a mistake and hopefully that'll happen on Wednesday, but we are Barcelona and what we have to do is focus on ourselves."

As much as we’ll all be rooting for Celta on Wednesday, they are on a simply dismal run of form having lost their last five La Liga games, and will need huge improvements to beat Madrid.
So is there any hope? Well, the history books suggest there is still plenty of room for optimism ahead of the final weekend.
Barcelona will want to look back to 1992 and 1993 when Madrid lost to Tenerife on the final days of the season allowing the Blaugrana to snatch the title with wins over Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao.
Can we still do it? Will Celta or Malaga beat Madrid? Let us know your thoughts!
