Barcelona's Xavi: Real Madrid need reality check

Barcelona ace Xavi has told Real Madrid to take a reality check.

The midfielder said: "We know we are playing well."

"They (Real Madrid) keep talking about theories and what ifs. They want to reduce our lead, but the fact is we are six points ahead."

Xavi added: "The Real Madrid style isn't entertaining, but it's practical and effective. They have a strong defence and a fantastic goalie and they play to those strengths."
