The midfielder was downbeat after the 3-3 draw with Levante

Sergio Busquets has all but given up on winning La Liga this season after Barcelona dropped points against Levante on Tuesday.

Barça led 2-0 and 3-2 in Valencia before drawing 3-3 to hand the initiative to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the title race.

If Atletico beat Real Sociedad on Wednesday, they will go four points clear of Barça with two to play. Madrid can move two points ahead of them with a win at Granada the following day.

"We don't have much of a chance now," Busquets lamented to Movistar. "It will depend on our rivals, but this is our own fault, [bad] decisions, a lack of concentration. We concede goals too easily. 

"We don't feel good because it was always going to be difficult but we wanted to put pressure on those at the top. 

"We had the lead, but as has happened this season, [Levante] scored goals too easily. The point doesn't mean much because that's the league practically over for us. We've dropped too many points to fight for the title."
