Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane responded to comments by Gerard Pique in his pre-match press conference on Saturday as the title race in Spain heats up.
Pique told after Barcelona’s draw with Sevilla that he thinks it will be difficult, for his team to win the league. In addition, he stated that he thinks it is going to be hard for Madrid to lose points, after viewing the first two matchdays after the competition resumed.
Pique’s comment was interpreted as a clue that referees have favoured Real Madrid in their wins against Eibar and Valencia however Zidane has dismissed all of it.
“No. I am very direct. I don’t think so. People can say one thing or another. What I am interested in is the game tomorrow. I have my opinion, but I won’t tell you what I think about Pique or anyone.
“[Barca’s draw] doesn’t change anything. This is our third game, we have talked about playing 11 finals, and we will prepare thinking about giving everything on the pitch and nothing else.”

Valencia had a target by Rodrigo chalked off by VAR due to offside that could have put them 1-0 up. Real Madrid went on to win the game 3-0 on Thursday with a man of the match performance by Marco Asensio after his return from injury.
Zidane’s team will be playing at Real Sociedad tonight and a win will take them level on points with Barcelona and move them on top of the LaLiga table, courtesy of a better head-to-head record.
