Higuain: The title goes through MadridGonzalo Higuain believes that El Clasico will decide the La Liga title, and warned Real Madrid not to lose points before then.

The Los Merengues striker was speaking to the press ahead of his century of games for the club, a match against Getafe.

"It is a source of great pride to have played 100 matches for a club as prestigious as Real Madrid. I hope to be able to enjoy it," Higuain told Marca.

The Argentina international also added that April will be an important month for Real, and that "the Liga title goes through Madrid".

Touching on the topic of his future, the hitman said talks of his contract extension was going smoothly, and said that his goal to better his scoring from last season is coming to fruition.

"I only have two goals left," said Higuain, after finding the back of the net 22 times this season.

Finally, Higuain revealed that he expected Lionel Messi to play at such a high level this season based on his observation of his fellow compatriot during international fixtures.

"It will be a pleasure to play with him in La Seleccion," he added.

Higuain turns attention to local derby

Real Madrid's two-goal hero Gonzalo Higuain was quick to turn his attention to this weekend's derby with Atletico.

The in-form striker helped his side return to the top of the table with victory over neighbours Getafe.

Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo both notched braces as Madrid downed Getafe 4-2 to record their 10th successive win in La Liga and leapfrog back over Barcelona at the summit.

Madrid have little time to celebrate the victory though as they are back in action on Sunday when they play their second derby in four days, with Atletico the visitors to the Bernabeu.

"Now what's important is to win on Sunday. We need to continue along this line and play like we've been doing," said Higuain, who was making his 100th league appearance for Madrid tonight.

The Argentinian's brace also saw him equal his total of 22 league goals from last season which means he is now only three behind Barca playmaker Lionel Messi at the top of the La Liga scoring charts.

"I'm always happy to score goals, and if these goals serve to help the team, then so much the better," Higuain added.

Madrid had found life very difficult in their previous visits to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, picking up just four points from a possible 15, but they stunned Getafe with a breathtaking start.

All four of Madrid's goals were scored in the opening 37 minutes while Esteban Granero, Sergio Ramos and Ronaldo went close to adding to the scoreline in that time.

Getafe managed to pull a goal back through Dani Parejo in the 38th minute and another in the 79th minute thanks to Pedro Leon, but Madrid had already done enough to take the points.

Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini said: "We picked up a good result at a ground that has not been good for us in the past and this has allowed us to remain as leaders.

"After the break we lowered the intensity due to the derby (against Atletico) and to avoid cards."

Pellegrini also criticised former Madrid man Parejo for playing on after Iker Casillas picked up an ankle injury in the lead-up to Getafe's first goal.

Casillas chased the ball outside his area after failing to grab Jaime Gavilan's cross, and Parejo slid in to fairly rob the Spain goalkeeper of possession.

The ball was picked up by Leon, who fed Parejo on the edge of the area and he fired into an unguarded net.

Casillas was furious Getafe carried on after he was injured in Parejo's challenge, and Pellegrini felt the 20-year-old Getafe playmaker should not have played on.

"I don't think any Getafe player will be proud of this action. I hope that my team won't do likewise in the same situation," Pellegrini added in AS.

Higuain linked with Liverpool

Real Madrid's in-form striker Gonzalo Higuain has again been linked with a move to England and this time to Liverpool.

The Daily Mail reported that Reds manager Rafael Benitez is keeping a close eye on his former club for any discontent involving Higuain's contract talks.

Higuain has become one the key players in the new-look Real side and is the top scorer for the Whites this season ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul and Karim Benzema.

But Real's disappointing Champions League exit meant Real president Florentino Perez could once again splash the cash in the summer for big name players.

Higuain is not considered a big name player and his place in the Real first-team is not guaranteed despite his goal-scoring form.

Previously, Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester City have been linked with the Argentine but now Liverpool have joined in the chase.

Benitez is keen to strengthen his attacking options further and sees Higuian as the perfect partner for Fernando Torres. The Argentine will also signal Liverpool's statement of intent and prevent star players from leaving Anfield.

The price could obviously prove to be a stumbling block for the Anfield outfit, and the Reds will have to let a handful of players go before making their intentions known in the summer transfer window.
