The Barcelona coach has warned that there is a long way to go yet
this season, and pointed to the threat posed by current second-placed
side Atletico Madrid
The Blaugrana cruised to a 4-0 win over Levante on Sunday evening, taking full advantage of los Blancos' 1-0 defeat to Real Betis on Saturday night before to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
However,
Vilanova has warned that there is still a long way to go this season,
and highlighted the threat posed by current second-placed side Atletico
Madrid, who defeated Sevilla 4-0 at Vicente Calderon earlier on Sunday
evening.
He told reporters after the match: "We scored very
quickly in the second half and that defined the match. The first half
was what we expected, because they are a team that works very well
[together] and they break quickly.
"The league is not finished.
Firstly because we’ve only played third of it, and then because Atletico
are behind us and are very strong.
"There’s still a lot to play
for, 75 points is a lot. Also, remember that in the first year that we
were 11 points clear of Real Madrid and had to go to the Bernabeu and
win.
"Atletico have had a good start, which isn’t a surprise as
they finished last season very strongly. All we can do is focus on
beating Athletic. I want to focus only on us."
