REAL MADRID COACH, ZINEDINE ZIDANE, ARRIVING AT NEWS CONFERENCE ROOM 7. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH, ZINEDINE ZIDANE SAYING: "It's just the reality. Look how many matches are they left? Six? Eighteen points. Mathematically, until we are champions, we can't say anything. You have to play and respect your opponents. We are fine and we need to continue and carry on, but as always our opponents are there and will do everything they can to win this league. All of them until the end." 8. VARIOUS OF TRAINING MATCH IN PROGRESS 9. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH, ZINEDINE ZIDANE, SAYING: "I have been in this situation as a player before, so I speak from my experience. And our players are perfectly aware that we haven't won anything. We haven't won absolutely anything" 10. VARIOUS OF TRAINING SESSION IN PROGRESS 11. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH, ZINEDINE ZIDANE, SAYING: "Hopefully our rivals have no intention of harming a player (Eden Hazard). Our opponents always try to play tough when they play against us. And as far as Eden, we have to be relaxed about it. He had some time off the pitch with lots of problems so we have to go slowly with Eden. I have no doubt at all that this will disappear (his troubles) and he will be doing very well shortly." 12.

Absolutely nothing is definitive so nothing will change for us. We will carry on as we have been doing, with strength on what we are doing and that's the only thing we want, to keep up our good energy. We have to keep it, we know tomorrow we are going to face a very tough opponent, very tough and they will make it hard for us." 16. KROOS SHOOTING 17. CARVAJAL RECEIVING FROM ZIDANE SHOOTING AND SCORING 18. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) REAL MADRID COACH, ZINEDINE ZIDANE, SAYING: "(Achraf) Hakimi is our player but anything can happen here. He had a good season and there are two things (that matter) in this club, like always: the economic side and the sports side, and we know the situation with both. However, now is not the time to talk about this, things might happen soon, but that's the sports part (of the club). Tomorrow we have a match and that's what interests me the most." 19. VARIOUS OF PLAYERS SHOOTING ON GOAL STORY: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said his side will not rest until they are 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 (July 2). 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 (June 30), which was the Catalans' third draw in six matches. 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.
