In-form Real Madrid have decimated Barcelona’s massive 12-point
lead at the top of the Primera Division standings after reeling off
ten successive league wins, while their Catalan foes slumped to
their third game without victory at the weekend.
Only four points now separate the two sides as the title race
heats up, but with 13 rounds still to go until the end of the
campaign, Los Blancos coach, Juande Ramos, has warned that his Men
In White will continue to hound the Blaugrana until they regain
control of the ladder.
“Firstly, we must be calm. We have reduced the gap to just four
points and it would seem as though our job is done, but in fact, it
has only begun,” he said in an interview with AS.
“Anyone who thinks we have successfully hunted down Barcelona is
gravely mistaken. Of course, I am thrilled that we have cut down
their lead, but we are not done harassing them.
“There’s still a long way to go with a lot of games to be
played. There’s every chance that we can stumble ourselves one day
and they will recover their advantage. For now, I prefer to think
short term and approach the matches one at a time. That will suit
us best,” he added.
