Gerard Pique talks up Barcelona title chances

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has insisted that his side still have a chance of winning La Liga after Saturday's 2-0 win at Sevilla.

Goals from Xavi Hernandez and Lionel Messi have moved the Catalan club to within seven points of league leaders Real Madrid.

"It's always difficult to win here, but in the first half we scored two goals in quick succession," said Pique.

"We are still in the mix [for the title]. We are winning three points after three. Now, we must think of Granada."

Madrid can restore their 10-point lead later today (Sunday) when they host fourth-placed Malaga.
