Juanfran calls for two wins

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has insisted that the capital outfit cannot play for a point on the final weekend of the season against Barcelona.

Providing Atletico beat Malaga and Barcelona beat Elche on Sunday, Atletico will travel to the Camp Nou next week holding a three-point lead at the top of the La Liga table.

A point would therefore be enough for Atletico to claim the title, but Barcelona would retain the trophy with victory due to a superior head-to-head record.

"It would be a mistake to think we can draw, because in two moves, Andres [Iniesta] or Leo [Messi] can win the game and we go home with nothing," Juanfran told reporters at a press conference.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will be mathematically out of the race this season if Atletico win tomorrow.
