Football: source from: Sports Radio Brila FM HARD TACKLE Andres Iniesta has urged Barcelona to focus on the battle for the Liga title after an agonising Copa del Rey defeat to Real Madrid. Marc Bartra's header cancelled out Angel di Maria's opener at Mestalla on Wednesday, but a fine individual goal from Gareth Bale saw Real secure a 2-1 success. Barca exited the UEFA Champions League courtesy of a 2-1 aggregate defeat at Liga leaders Atletico Madrid last week, while a 1-0 setback at Granada on Saturday has severely dented their hopes of defending the Spanish title. Defeat to Real therefore marked a third consecutive disappointment and added to the pressure mounting on Barca head coach Gerardo Martino. However, Iniesta has urged the team to fight on in a bid to overhaul Atletico and Real in the league. Can Barca salvage their season by winning the La Liga title?
