Madrid Press: Los Blancos have to fight for every point

The focus is very much back in the La Liga battle in the Madrid press, and the papers have plenty of build up to Real’s match against Levante on Sunday.

Marca opts for a front cover of Carlo Ancelotti and a quote from him at an event in the city on Thursday evening in which he spoke of the need to sweat and fight for every single point in the league.

With the Clasico just two weeks away, it would be easy for the players to switch their attention to that match, but Los Blancos have two league games before that – Levante and Malaga. And the Italian boss said: “If we start thinking about the Clásico we’ll have trouble against Levante and Málaga, and those are the matches in which ‘La Liga’ will be won or lost.”

Elsewhere, AS carries a feature on the importance of Xabi Alonso in the team. Real are currently enjoying a 28-game unbeaten run, which coincides with the the World Cup winner’s return to the team. He has only missed two games in that run since returning from injury – the draws against Xàtiva in the Copa del Rey and Osasuna in the league.

Finally, Zinedine Zidane has joined the growing list of staff and players at the club who believe they have what it takes to win the treble. Speaking to journalists on Friday, he said: “Of course it is possible to talk about winning the treble.”
