"I Will Take The Champions League Over La Liga" - Iker Casillas

Iker Casillas has spoken about Saturday's "must-win" game against Sevilla: "We're expecting a hard game, just like every game from now until the end of the season. However, as always, our most important game is this Saturday's".

On Sevilla: "They're a tough team at home, they've been solid throughout the season. They're challenging for a place in the Champions League and are in the Europa League semi-finals. It'll be a great game for the fans. Hopefully we can take the points, because we know the title is out of our hands. Our aim is to make things hard for Barcelona. Taking all three points from our trip to Seville keeps us in the title race"


On the tougher proposition: "The gaffer said it the other day. In one way, the Champions League is easier. Winning the Champions League is down to us, irrespective of other results. In the league we have to beat Sevilla and see what happens to Barcelona in Córdoba. I don't think they'll want to go down in front of their home fans, so we'll see what happens. All the teams left in the Champions League have a 25% chance of lifting the title".

"Real Madrid fans obviously have a soft spot for the Champions League. Nobody has ever won back-to-back titles. I'll take the Champions League over La Liga".
