Barcelona star Luis Suarez vowed his side
will keep the pressure on Real Madrid until the last
moments of the final day of LaLiga after their
victory over Las Palmas.
The league leaders recorded a 4-1 away victory on
Sunday courtesy of a Neymar hat-trick and a strike
from Suarez himself.
But Madrid still hold a game in hand and now just
need four points from their last two games away to
Celta Vigo and Malaga, Zinedine Zidane's men
having beaten Sevilla 4-1 to keep the destiny of
the title race in their own hands.
"What we have to do now is win against Eibar so
that Real Madrid have to do the same against Celta
and against Malaga on the final day," Suarez told
reporters after the match.
"It depends on what they do on Wednesday and
Sunday. We are aware that the season is a long
one. We wanted to have a good dynamic in the
final stretch of the season, we cannot lose any
games and we are on the right track.
"We knew this match would be difficult in front of
their [Las Palmas'] own fans but we deserved the
three points.
"We had some problems with team-mates in
defence but those who have come in did their best.
We played well in the first half and we were
effective [in front of goal]."
Suarez was asked why he opted to pass to Neymar
for Barca's opening goal, rather than shoot himself
when he was clean through on goal.
"We are here to help the team and get the league,"
he said. "I saw a team-mate in a better position
than I was and that is why I gave it to him."
