Real Madrid are just 6 games away from an impossible La Liga and UEFA Champions League double. They are level in points with Barcelona and have a head-to-head advantage so if Atletico loses to Barcelona, Real will be crowned champions if they can win all of their last 4 matches.
Real Madrid are also in a strong position in the Champions League semi-finals as well. They head into the second-leg with a 1-1 scoreline. So if they score 2 goals in Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will have to score 4.
Real Madrid beat Osasuna 2-0 in their last La Liga match. Zidane said in his post-match press conference, via Marca: “I hope it’s something small, but I can’t tell you. Varane says it’s a small thing and I hope that it is.”
“A lot of things have happened to us, but today we’ve got three more points and we’re going to fight until the end. We can.
“I’m not saying that we’re going to win everything, but we’re going to do everything we can to try to win.”
Zidane said about Hazard who started the match and played 70 minutes: “He did well. Especially in that position, close to Karim [Benzema], I think he did very well.”
Real Madrid’s players have been close to their physical limit for quite some time now, but Zidane was happy with the fitness levels he saw on Saturday. He said: “Today we were very good physically and mentally.”
“We’re playing every three days and these details are very important. We were very good physically today.”
