The Chilean tactician believes that Los Blancos should feel no difficulty in winning the Liga BBVA title this season, tipping them as the favourites in the title race.
Pellegrini has gone ahead to express that it would be strange if Jose Mourinho’s men fail to be champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 at the end of the current season’s campaign.
The Malaga head coach praised the Santiago Bernabeu outfit and stated that they are most likely to add another Spanish La Liga trophy to their exploits.
He stressed that Madrid’s 8-point lead over Barcelona at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings is enough to see them through as winners of the league by the end of the season.
This past weekend Los Blancos registered a 1-1 draw against Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men were able to put up an impressive display as they managed to earn a point from the heavily competitive fixture.
Although the hosts went in front by scoring the first goal through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 forced the Vikingos to settle for a stalemate.
To add to the displeasure of the Santiago Bernabeu faithful, their lead at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings was reduced from 10 points to 8 points, as second-place Barcelona emerged victorious in their match against Sevilla on Saturday.
However, Pellegrini argued that dropping two points on Sunday will not cause substantial harm to Real’s title ambitions.
While addressing a press conference, the Chilean manager quoted:
"It would be really strange if Madrid were not crowned La Liga champions. However, a lot of things can happen in football."
"A draw was a fair result. We did not deserve to be behind at half-time. We kept our shape well and then Santi's goal salvaged a point for us. It was an even game in my opinion with a deserved outcome."
So far in the season, Real Madrid have managed to register 71 points from a total of 27 games in the league. There are still 11 more matches to play for the Spanish giants as they look to win their 32nd La Liga title this season.
