Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano felt they answered their critics with victory over Athletic Bilbao.
Two goals in three minutes saw Barcelona come from behind to end a run of three straight defeats.
Mascherano said: "I think that this is the right attitude for the team to have for the rest of the season, it's the only way we can continue hoping for the title - we'll see what happens.
"Being criticised is part of our job, we have to be as professional as possible.
"We have to hold onto the hope of winning the title. We have to win our matches and hope for the rest to drop points.
"We can't change the way we play."
