Hansi Flick praised his Barcelona teammates' defensive tenacity after a 1-0 La Liga victory away to Leganes.
The Catalans return to northern Spain with a seven-point advantage over Real Madrid, who play at Alaves on Sunday.Barcelona were not at their best in Madrid, and they relied on good fortune to win, as Jorge Saenz's own goal sealed the victory.
The visitors did not have a shot on target until the 70th minute, and they were unable to score a second goal as Leganes fought for a late comeback.
Flick agreed that winning this type of difficult game is critical in a title run, and he complimented Inigo Martinez for a goal-saving block late on.
"It was a very difficult and vital match for us. "I'm very proud of what my team has done over the last few weeks and months," Marca said.
"What jumps out above all things is the dedication displayed by each player.
"You would believe that matches versus Dortmund or Atletico Madrid win titles, but it's games like this.
"I'm extremely proud of the team and how they defended. Martínez's final performance in the game was flawless."
Flick is anticipated to vary his starting lineup against Borussia Dortmund in midweek, but with the most of the work done following a 4-0 UEFA Champions League first leg victory, he will keep several players for league action.
Alejandro Balde was forced off at Leganes and will most certainly miss out, while Ronald Araujo is also dealing with a slight ailment.
Barcelona will then play two home league games in April, against Celta Vigo and Mallorca, before facing Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on April 26.
