Malaga coach Michel was delighted with their shock win over Barcelona.

Goals from Sandro Ramirez and Jony saw the Andalusians home against a Blaugrana side who floundered and even lost Neymar to a red card.

"LaLiga is not lost for Barcelona here nor is it won by Real Madrid because of us," said former Real Madrid captain Michel to the press.

"It's a regular league season and now the most regular thing is Real Madrid's lead.

"I already said that Real Madrid did not need a hand, because they will be the champions, but a Malaga man from Real Madrid has lent them a hand."
