Barcelona defender Gerard Pique wants the season settled on the pitch.

For the moment, Barca trail Real Madrid by two points.

"I understand LaLiga's interest in finishing the season because there's a lot at stake," Pique explained.

"Despite being leaders, it would be quite ugly to win that way.

"We've spent a lot of time out of action and we have to keep in mind we need to be well prepared to avoid the risk of injuries, a few days of training more wouldn't be bad."

Pique also praised LaLiga president Javier Tebas for pushing to play out the season amid the coronavirus lockdown.

"They've kept us very well informed; Javier Tebas has dedicated many hours to it," Pique added.

"There are people who are scared and it's important that everyone follows the protocol to the finest detail.

"It's better training as a group but we have to adapt."
