Ronaldo to play remaining Liga games of Real Madrid: Coach Zidane

May 08 23:00 2016

Atletico Madrid have never won the Champions League but they have twice finished runner-up, including an agonising loss to crosstown rivals in the 2014 final. “Tomorrow there is only one team that can be proclaimed champion, and that is us”. “There are two games to go, we’re behind and we must keep moving forward and doing our best to win the match, and then we’ll see what happens”.

Los Blancos beat Valencia as Atletico Madrid lost at Levante to become the only side who can stop Barca retaining the title.

Real Madrid need a favour from Granada if they are to win La Liga – but Zinedine Zidane feels Barcelona could slip up on the final day.

And with the in-form Gareth Bale missing for Sunday’s visit of Valencia to the Santiago Bernabeu due to a knee injury, Zidane said he has no reason to rest Ronaldo.

A mere point is all that separates Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at the top of the table and the Spanish giants were all back in training ahead of what could be a season-defining next couple of weeks.

“A team that just played a Champions League semi-final can lose”.

The 10-time Champions League winners have won their last 10 games in the league and French boss Zidane has called on his troops to keep the momentum going. We have to be aware of that fight until the final whistle.

“I have told the players that I am proud of what they have achieved”, Simeone was quoted as saying by AS. We’ve got to believe in our chances until the end.

Barca have once again had a week to prepare for their game and coach Luis Enrique can expect another tough encounter against a side who used extremely physical tactics to draw 0-0 in the first meeting between the two sides this season.

The league’s last round will send Barcelona to Granada, while Atletico hosts Celta Vigo and Madrid is at Deportivo La Coruna.

Enrique’s men hold the slenderest of advantages in the title race as they lead Atletico thanks to their better head-to-head record while Real lie a point behind in third
