Real Madrid left-back Marcelo has said the race for the La Liga title still has life left in it despite the 2-2 draw with Valencia.
Los Blancos scored a late equaliser at the Santiago Bernabeu through Cristiano Ronaldo, but failed to take full advantage of Ateltico de Madrid’s slip up at Levante, where they lost 2-0. It means Diego Simeone’s men need four points from their remaining two games to be confirmed as champions.
But speaking to journalists after the game, Brazilian defender Marcelo said the players will keep fighting.
“La Liga is very difficult and can change at any time. Today we tried to win because we had a good chance to get closer, but we failed. We have to train in order to keep fighting and win what’s left,” he stated.
He added that they don’t worry about the results of their title rivals, saying the focus is always on the fact that as a Real player, you need to go out and win your own games,
“We don’t look at the matches our rivals are playing. We just focus on ours. Today we had to win but we failed to do so. Those who played today gave their all but unfortunately we didn’t manage to win. At least we got a draw. It was a good opportunity. We have to forget this match and look at where we went wrong,” he commented.
I think marcelo should keep quiet and let others talk, he should acknowledge the fact that he in particular has failed the team, I will like to also add varane and allaramedi as well.
