David Villa believes Barcelona will still win the La Liga title even after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Getafe left them six points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
Former Valencia star Villa is already looking ahead to what will be a crucial El Clasico clash on 10th December when he thinks Barca will beat Jose Mourinho's side, who eased past city rivals Atletico 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier on Saturday.

I am not one to make excuses, but we could not score and the whole Getafe team was at the back.

An optimistic Villa said: "This is not over, soon we will have a match against them [Madrid] and we can beat them calmly and that is what we have to think about.
"It is a shame that we are now this far from the leaders."
The 29-year-old was unimpressed by Getafe's defensive tactics in the game, adding: "Getafe closed down very well, just like every team has been doing. We had good chances but their keeper played very well.
"They scored a goal from a corner and things became much harder then. I am not one to make excuses, but we could not score and the whole Getafe team was at the back."
Barcelona face Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Tuesday and are 1213.00 to claim the Champions League for a third time in four seasons. Real Madrid are 1213.00 to win the competition while AC Milan can be backed at 1213.00 and Manchester United at 1213.00.
