Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez believes if Real Madrid have given up on LaLiga, it is because of his side's superb season, he told a news conference Sunday.
Champions Real lost 3-2 at home against Villarreal Saturday and league leaders Barca can move 15 points clear of Los Blancos with a win at home against Girona Monday.
Real thrashed Barca 4-0 last week to reach the Copa del Rey final, despite the gap between the teams in LaLiga.
"I don't know if they've switched off or not, but if they have, it's thanks to us," said Xavi.
"Tomorrow it's important to increase the gap to 15 points. It won't mean anything is sealed, but it would be a spectacular distance.
"It doesn't interest me if Real do something or don't, what interests me is what we do."
Real are in the Copa del Rey final and face Chelsea Wednesday in a Champions League quarter-final first leg clash.
Xavi said he thinks Barca winning the top flight for the first time since 2019 would be a magnificent achievement which some are trying to "minimise".
"Winning LaLiga is incredible, winning the league gives you stability," added the coach.
"I remember (former Real coach Zinedine) Zidane, after winning the Champions League, saying the objective was to win LaLiga.
"It's being minimized that winning a league, for us, would be extraordinary."
