"Regardless of winning the league title or not, these players have the character and mentality of champions.”
"They were tired and sad today, and we could have played better, but we won. We did what we had to do."
With a paltry three matches remaining until the end of the season, Real Madrid lead La Liga points table. The Capital club boast of a 7-point advantage in the Primera Division rankings, and take on the challenge of Athletic Bilbao for their next domestic
outing.
