We’re not playing at our best level and this makes it difficult to win titles,” he said. “But we’ll continue fighting until the end. We know that we can still do it.” Messi has already helped his side to a record-breaking run in La Liga, and he is confident that they can keep their title challenge alive in Europe as well.
However, he does recognises that things may be tougher than ever against Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16. “Real Madrid are a very strong team and they will defend their title vigorously, but we’ll give it our all nevertheless,” he added.
