"For almost three months we have fought so hard, knowing that we could hardly afford to drop a single point, so it would be a real shame if we were to throw it away now.

"There are no excuses now, it is in our own hands. If we don't win it, we will be the ones to blame.

"Over the last few games we have shown a tremendous amount of character and determination and we never gave up, even when we were so many points behind.

"Now we have reached the vital time. We must end the season in the right manner and ensure there are no mistakes.''

"It would be absolutely fantastic for me personally to become the first Argentine footballer to win the league here.

"But I never like to speak too soon because if things don't turn out right, the disappointment is even worse.''
