Zinedine Zidane on Madrid's Real Sociedad clash & La Liga title race
The Frenchman says his side thrive in these type of situations at the top of the table
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says his side are ready to take the title race to the end after Atletico Madrid's mini-slump re-opened the race.
Madrid host Real Sociedad on Monday and can move within three points of Atletico, who beat Villarreal this weekend, with a win, although they will have played a game more.
"That's how this team works, when the tide turns against us, we know how to impose ourselves in the critical moments," Zidane said in a press conference on Sunday.
"We know you will always experience difficulties in a season but you always have good moments too. But the campaign is very long, there's a lot of games left, and we still haven't achieved anything."
Barcelona are also in the title race after beating Sevilla 2-0 on Saturday. Ronald Koeman's side are five points behind Atletico but have played a game more.
"Right now it's between three teams, before people said only one team could win it, soon it will be down to two teams and then up to four... everyone has their opinion," Zidane added.
"But we've always felt it was open. There are 42 points left to play for and we'll keep only focusing on ourselves,"
