Xavi has not quite given up hope Barcelona can win La Liga despite Real Madrid moving three points clear at the top of the table with a 4-1 win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday.
Los Blancos now need just a point to secure a first title in five years ahead of Sunday’s clash at Malaga while Barcelona take on Eibar.
Madrid are big favourites to beat Malaga but Xavi says they face a tough test with Michel’s side in fine form having lost just one of their last eight games.
"Málaga are in great form and winning there is no easy task," he said according to AS.
