Zidane? Believes Real Madrid? Can Still Win La Liga ?
Zinedine Zidane maintains Real Madrid can win the La Liga title for the second year running, despite his side sitting 15 points behind rivals Barcelona.
Defeat at Espanyol last time out leaves Madrid with a huge task to catch Barca over the 12 remaining games, although on Thursday Ernesto Valverde's men were held to a 1-1 draw at lowly Las Palmas.
"What we have to do is win games, that's all," Zidane told a pre-match news conference on Friday. "Keep going to the end of the season. That's what we have to do and that's what we have to think about. It's not easy to go out and win all the games but it's what the players have to try and do. If we're always motivated and thinking about the game, then we can achieve something great.
"There's always a league - it's right to the end for every team. Perhaps everyone thinks the league is over but in football you can never give up. That's what we have to do. We have to get it into our heads that our remaining league games are important.
"We're going to fight until the end of the league. It's complicated but it's not impossible, that's the difference between what I say and what you [the media] say. It's difficult, it's very difficult, but it's not impossible."
