Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, is still optimistic that his side could still win the Spanish league this season.

The reigning champions are 14 points behind Barcelona and host 10th-placed Getafe on Saturday, after Tuesday’s shock 1-0 loss to Espanyol .

Barca and Atletico Madrid who play each other on Sunday, sit 15 and 10 clear of Real respectively, but Zidane insists he will not give up yet.

“It’s going to be complicated, but not impossible.

“Look what is happening between the first and the second, there are five points now. Did you expect it? If Atletico beat Barcelona, it is two points, did you expect that?

“The league is alive and I am optimistic, always, until the end,” he told a press conference on Friday.

Zidane also warned his players not to be complacent ahead of next week’s Champions League round of 16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG who trail 3-1 from the first leg, will be without Neymar, who is to undergo surgery on his foot this weekend.

“We feel sorry for Neymar but they are a very strong team and the player that is going to replace him will be very strong.

“We are going to play a European Cup match, a return match, where we will have to give 2000 percent.

“Whether there is one player or another, the player who plays will be prepared, they will want to prove themselves,” Zidane added.
