The Cameroon striker said: "I do not think we've dropped the pace, we must continue the fight because in the remaining games and also the three games of the Champions League, we want to be in the final."

Barca coach Frank Rijkaard also said: "At 2-1 up, we expected to win the game. But though we had chances to settle the game, it was they who showed the fight needed to score next."

On the Liga title, the Dutchman added: "It is still mathematically possible. But we must be better focused. The second goal we conceded was very disappointing. We cannot drop our concentration so easily."
