Barcelona star Lionel Messi admits they feel Real Madrid breathing down their neck. Messi popped up for a late winner against Athletic Bilbao last night to maintain Barca's five point lead.
"We could not afford another setback because Real Madrid are very close and we must keep our distance," said Messi.
"It is becoming increasingly difficult because there are many games and we're now in the most complicated part of the season.
"The victory is a joy for us and for the people."
