Tito Vilanova on being asked whether he thought Madrid would be out of the title race if they lost and the points difference increased to 14: "I wouldn't write Madrid off even with a 14 or 16 point difference. We could equally end up eight points ahead, not 14. The games have to be played".
In fact, the coach does not even intend to watch the derby: "I'll be at the press conference and after that I'll have dinner, just like I always do. I'm not planning on watching the derby".
Vilanova prefers to focus on Athletic: "At the start of the season, I never imagined we would be able to build up such a lead over Madrid. The most important thing is to focus on our match which is going to be a really tough one".
There were a lot of questions about the Ballon d'Or: "I don't think the players get distracted by the Ballon d'Or. Of course, we are pleased that Andrés and Leo have been nominated again".
On making a choice between Iniesta and Messi, he would not be drawn: "They both deserve it. I will be thrilled if one of them wins". On the best manager he commented: "Pep deserves it at club level. Del Bosque has won a European Championship and a World Cup".
The Barça coach, speaking about Llorente, said: "I'm not going to comment on the contractual situation. It's not the right time to think about potential players for next season, although Llorente is good enough to play for any of the big European teams".
