Barcelona defender Gerard Pique: We can catch Real Madrid

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique was upbeat after their draw with Real Madrid.

The result leaves Barca six points behind Los Merengues.

“Everything is going right for Real Madrid and the goal in the 90th minute keeps their unbeaten run going, but experience tells me that this [the season] is very long," said Pique.

And Pique used an example: “The first year of Luis Enrique, in 2014/15, we were in a similar situation. They were on a great run of form and had a four point lead."

The key, for Pique, is clear: “It all depends on ourselves and how we play football. If we recover our style, which we in part recovered today, we're unstoppable and we can turn things around."
