Koeman: Barcelona players are hungry to win another title this season

A domestic double is within reach following Sunday's win over Villarreal

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman says his players are hungry to win another title after beating Villarreal 2-1 on Sunday.

Antoine Griezmann scored twice to move Barça within six wins of the La Liga crown, given they have to play leaders Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou in May.

It would seal a domestic double under Koeman following this month's Copa del Rey success.

"I've never said (the double) is impossible, but when you're so many points behind the leaders as we were, you have to go game by game," Koeman said.

"Atletico play tonight, we will see. We have six games left. We're there. The team is hungry to win another big title. But game by game is going to be the best way to win the league. 

"It's closer, but I don't know if it is really close. We've been on a good run, winning games, and what this team is doing is great to get back into the fight for the title.

"We know that if we win six games we will be champions. We're going to give everything to try and win the league."
