Gonzalo Higuain insists there's no panic at Real Madrid after they drew 1-1 at Almeria last night.

Raul had Real ahead until the final nine minutes when Pablo Piatti knocked home an equaliser for Almeria after great lead-up play from former Castilla star Alvaro Negredo.

Higuain insisted afterwards: "This is a very long season. There is still a lot of games to play in the Liga.

"We also have an important game next Wednesday. Hopefully this game turns out better, which is what we always want.

"We're not worried about Barcelona, because they are just two points ahead. There is time for everything. We have to keep working."
