Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has admitted that he did not expect his team to be in the best position to win the La Liga title at the end of the season.

The Catalan giants will become the leader of La Liga tonight Thursday night, if they beat Granada in a remaining match.

From this moment on, Barca would have their fate in their own hands in the remaining five matches in the league.

“It is important to win tomorrow, because we are in a moment when we have that we can be a leader and that can be rewarded, but first we have to win,” Koeman said before the match.

“Let’s go match after match. If we look back, it is an unexpected situation. We had a big difference of points and we achieved something great, the opportunity to fight to win La Liga”, he added.
