Barcelona coach Xavi says his players are ready for tomorrow's derby against Espanyol.

Victory will confirm Barca as champions.

Xavi said, "Tomorrow is the first opportunity to win the League. We are very excited to win this League. I already said that the sooner the better, so we'll see in the derby.

"We expect a very aggressive Espanyol. I think that Luis García is a very capable coach and that Espanyol has chosen well. They have signed a great coach. And he has improved with the ball. They have both. They defend well and come out well. They play a lot and we have all the hope of being champions tomorrow.

"We are 200%, full throttle. With illusion, intensity and desire to win the League. Life is also going for us tomorrow, at least, the same as Espanyol. Regardless of the rival, I am excited to win now.

"For me, personally, winning a League weighs more. I don't care if I win it in the field of Espanyol or Real Madrid. For the culés, it will surely be a plus. But what we value from within is the general work of the entire season."
