Barcelona focused on ourselves, not our La Liga rivals - Neymar

Brazil forward Neymar insists Barcelona are only focused on themselves and not La Liga league leaders Real Madrid.

Neymar helped Barca to a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon on Sunday, with Lionel Messi scoring a winner after Diego Godin cancelled out Rafina's opener.

The win was Barca's fourth consecutive league win, keeping them a point behind Madrid who have a game in hand.

"We do not think about other teams, we must look after ourselves," Neymar said after the game.

"Our rivals will do their bit or they will fail.

"I am happy for the win, we knew it would be very difficult, and congratulations to the team."

Uruguay international Luis Suarez assisted Rafinha for his goal on 64 minutes and he is adamant the Catalan outfit are still in with a chance to win the league title.

"There's still a lot of league to go but a win here was a boost for our confidence," Suarez said.

"The important thing was to take all three points.

"All the players were on top form. We have shown that we have the ambition to fight for the title.

"We knew that this was a great chance to turn the league around."
