Former Barcelona attacker Johan Cruyff has claimed that Atletico Madrid "deserve" to win La Liga this season.

Four points from Atletico's final two league games would be enough to secure their first league title for almost 20 years.

However, they travel to Barcelona on the final weekend, who would claim the trophy if they take six points from their final two matches.

"Atletico Madrid deserve the title more and if they lose it, which could happen, they'll have had an exceptional season anyway," he told reporters.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will be out of the race if Atletico beat Malaga tomorrow.
