Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba insists complacency will not be allowed to seep into the locker room.

Their 5-0 win at Real Betis on Sunday saw Barca go 11 points clear at the top of the LaLiga table.

Alba said: "If we keep winning and those who are behind fail, it's better, but there is still a lot of the season to go.

"We do not want to say that the League is won but it is true that the advantage is important."

On Thomas Vermaelen's hamstring injury, he added: "It's a shame because he was in a good moment, it was a play similar to the one that (Samuel) Umtiti was injured against Celta, we hope he recovers soon because we need him."
