Barcelona defender Carles Puyol has laughed off suggestions that the club is feeling the pressure of being long-time league leaders.

Barca's lead at the top of the table over second-placed Real Madrid has been cut to seven points after a 2-2 draw at Real Betis was followed by Saturday's shock home defeat to relegation-threatened Espanyol.

Puyol is unconcerned by the recent setbacks though, saying: "I do not want to speak of Real Madrid, because I only know about Barcelona.

"We are confident and eager to work. We have no doubts and we know what is required of us to continue to do well.

"The only team trying to play football on Saturday was Barcelona. We were not trying to destroy or stop the game.

"The team that was hurt was the team that had tried to come out and play."
