The two La Liga giants meet in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final in midweek, with the tie level at 1-1 after the first game at Camp Nou. Yet that contest will come just three days on from Madrid's visit to Levante, while Barca have a four-day gap following their 4-2 victory at Sevilla on Saturday. Solari called the decision to give one club more rest than the other "curious" at his pre-match media conference, but Pique suggested the shorter gap may actually benefit Madrid, after an extra day of rest in October saw them hammered 5-1 by Barcelona in a match that cost then-Blancos manager Julen Lopetegui his job.

Raheem Sterling says he felt more pressure when he was in the title race with Liverpool than he does with Manchester City. During the 2013/14 season following his breakthrough in a red shirt, Sterling found himself as a key component in Liverpool's title charge under Brendan Rodgers, which came undone in the final weeks of the campaign. Comparing the failed title tilt of five years ago to his successful run last season, Sterling admits the pressure felt was higher during his time on Merseyside. "When I was there I did feel a lot more pressure than when I'm here, with matchdays and the fans. I think that they get to us a little bit. We were in control and we had the opportunity to see it through but we didn't do that. "Here we're completely focused on each game and trying to win each game as it comes. It's a complete different scenario from last year - last year we were a bit more comfortable towards this point of the season. "This year it...

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham's hopes of winning the Premier League title this season are over after they lost 2-1 to Burnley on Saturday. After Burnley took the lead in the second half, Harry Kane struck on his return from injury to equalise for Spurs only for Ashley Barnes to fire in a winner for the Clarets with seven minutes left on the clock. Spurs' slip means they could end up eight points behind the Premier League leaders by the end of the weekend, with Liverpool taking on Manchester United on Sunday. Although they have 11 games left to play, Pochettino believes his side's chances of being crowned champions this year have been well and truly dashed by Burnley. When asked if their fight for the title is over, Pochettino told Sky Sports: "Yes. We are very disappointed because there are 11 games, the gap can be bigger.
