Barcelona's 3-0 win over Sevilla may have kept the LaLiga title race alive but Andres Iniesta feels his side have to beat Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to retain their crown.

Just eight games remain for the Blaugrana to overturn the two point deficit atop the table with Los Blancos also possessing a game in hand.

"We lost to Deportivo and they drew at home to Las Palmas but if we want to have a chance of winning the league, we probably need to beat them at the Bernabeu," he said after Wednesday's game.

Starting the stroll past Sevilla, Iniesta's presence was a big factor in the win and it came after a spell of rest that the midfielder didn't necessarily enjoy.

"The bad moment has already passed and I am happy with the team and myself," Iniesta noted.

"It's been a little strange this season because of some things and others, but the present is what it is. I hope to play like this in the remaining games.

"It's never easy to manage an international break because you change the tempo, but the team is good and we are in the loop this April.

"We are in every competition and we could end up in nothing if we do not do things right."

Before Barcelona can concentrate too hard on the Clasico, Malaga await them in LaLiga on Sunday night at 20:45 CET.
