Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has insisted that they can still catch Barcelona in the race for the Spanish title.
Barca beat Las Palmas 2-1 on Saturday to move nine points clear at the top, but Madrid failed to keep pace after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Malaga on Sunday.
Zidane’s men now face a hard task of overtaking their rivals with just 13 matches left this season, but the Frenchman is refusing to give up.
“Not at all have we said goodbye to La Liga, although it is now more difficult,” he told reporters.
“We will never give up because there are many points to play for. There are many points at stake and others may also drop them.
“I do not think about others but instead look to follow whatever happens to work for our goals. Also I have to do analysis of myself, not only of the players, because we have worked well all week.
“We will not switch off. This concern does not exist. There is also the Champions League and we will fight to the end no matter what.
“We have had some difficulties [against Malaga] but we have not played badly. We had our chances.”
