Alexis Sanchez has insisted that Saturday's defeat at Real Valladolid has not harmed Barcelona's prospects of enjoying a successful end to the season.

The loss, which was Barca's fourth in the league this campaign, left the Catalan outfit four points behind league leaders Real Madrid.

However, the Chilean has called for perspective, with the Spanish side still in the hunt for all three major trophies in the latter part of the campaign.

"I think we're all calm, with the normal pressure of winning our next games. We are where we are, we've lost a game and it's like someone has died," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We're all a part of the same thing at Barca and we go ahead in the same direction. Things can change in La Liga. When Real Madrid were nine points behind us in the first half of the season, then people were saying we would be champions.

"Now we're four points behind us and people are saying we're dead. Barca are in the final of the Copa del Rey, we're in the Champions League, there's still plenty ahead of us in La Liga and we'll be giving it everything to win all three trophies. The team doesn't lack confidence. The team looks confident to me and we're fine."

Sanchez has netted 18 times in 39 games this season.
