After the 1-1 draw against Malaga in their La Liga match, Real Madrid's French coach Zinedine Zidane admitted that his team's mission is getting more "difficult," but he believes that winning the title "isn't impossible" after all, as "there are still 38 points left to play for".
In a press conference held at La Rosaleda Stadium after the match on Sunday, Zidane said, "of course, you think the league is lost, but for me and my players it isn't, in any way, shape or form", reports EFE.
"I don't believe that we didn't play well. We have to keep going and stay positive because we've been outstanding in our games until now," the Frenchman added.
After Sunday's away draw, Real Madrid now have 54 points. They are in third place, nine points behind leaders Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are in second place with 55 points.
