Gerardo Martino calls for "consistency"

Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino has called on his side to show "consistency" in their final nine La Liga games of the season.

The Catalan outfit welcome Celta Vigo to the Camp Nou this evening currently sitting third in the La Liga table, one point behind second-placed Real Madrid and leaders Atletico Madrid.

"The result last weekend has put is back in the title race. Now we have to do well against Celta. We can't afford let ourselves down," he told reporters at a press conference.

"Our desire is to perform at the highest level and put in similar performances to last weekend. All the competitions are at their final stage now and if we don't perform like last weekend, we risk losing out on trophies.

"The issue is consistency, generally. That's why we're not where we want to be. If we had been consistent in our performances we would be in a much better position."

Barcelona were 4-3 winners over Real Madrid in El Clasico at the weekend.
