“We have to not think about the difference in points,”
fibbed Zinedine Zidane as he looked forward to this game. “I don’t think it’s a
decisive match in terms of the league. You have to think positively.
We’re very
good and better in each area of the field. Even if we lose, the league will not
be over. Every match will be a final and we’ll try to reduce the points
difference but always staying calm and playing good football. It will be the
most difficult game of the season, these are always exciting and hard games but
that’s how we like them. Players live for games like these.”
This game is big. It is as big as league games played in
December can be. By the time the teams next play in the league, two games from
the end of the season in May, it may all be over. This is Madrid’s chance to
turn what looks like a procession into what might turn into a chase. If they
take it, it’ll be fun to watch. And if they don’t take it, it’ll also be fun to
watch. It will, in short, be fun to watch. Welcome. Let’s do this.
