Barca ‘feeling the pressure’ of title run-in, insist Real

REAL MADRID believe that league leaders and arch-rivals Barcelona are choking under the pressure as the Spanish title race enters its decisive phase.

Barca have lost two of their last three games, going down 1-0 at Real Zaragoza and 2-0 at Villarreal, and their 1-0 victory over struggling Real Mallorca two weeks ago came courtesy of a last-gasp own goal.

Frank Rijkaard’s side were four points clear before the Villarreal defeat, but head into Sunday’s match against relegation-threatened Levante at the Nou Camp just one point ahead of Sevilla and two in front of Real.
