Zinedine Zidane said his side would not rest until they were declared champions
after title rivals Barcelona handed them the opportunity to go four points
clear at the top of La Liga if they beat Getafe on Thursday.
Real will be targeting a sixth consecutive victory since
the COVID-19 hiatus when they host Getafe, looking to capitalise on Barca's 2-2
draw with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, which was the Catalans' third draw in six
matches.
"The reality is we have 18 points left to fight for
and you cannot say anything until you are champions mathematically,"
Zidane told a virtual news conference on Wednesday.
"I have been in this situation as a player before
and I know we still haven't won anything. The players and I are not about to
forget that."
Real have a full squad for the Getafe game although there
is concern about the recent performances of Eden Hazard, who has received rough
treatment from opponents since returning from a serious ankle injury he
sustained in February.
Zidane said he hoped players were not trying to target
the Belgian.
"We know how good he is and so do our rivals. But I
hope they are not trying to cause him damage. Our opponents play tough, but we
have to be relaxed about that," he said.
"Eden has struggled because he has been away from
the pitch for a long time and we have to be patient with him, but he'll be back
to top form in no time at all." Reuters
