Cristiano Ronaldo insists Barcelona can still win La Liga - despite Real Madrid going ten points clear of their rivals on Sunday.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick on Sunday as Real beat Levante 4-2, 24 hours after Barca had slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Osasuna.

But the Portugal international, whose three goals moved him ahead of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi in La Liga's goalscoring charts, believes the title race is still open.

"There is still a lot left, we are going to have to wait," he said.

"We are playing well. This was a hard match in which we got off a bid badly, but then we scored and we changed.

"We are doing well and we have to continue like this."

And the former Manchester United winger, who has now scored one more goal than Messi for the season to date, added: "Goals come as a result of work of the team.

"Personally, I am in a good moment and I want to continue like this."
