Mijatovic urges Real Madrid not to panic

Real Madrid sports chief Predrag Mijatovic insists they're not wobbling after seeing their lead cut to two points last night.

Defeat at home to Getafe, coupled with Barcelona's 5-1 thrashing of Levante, leaves Real with just a two point lead on Barca, but Mijatovic says: "February has not been our month. When we were going very well in the League, with many points of difference with respect to our rivals, we said that there were many games left.

"The Spanish Liga is decided in the final weeks. It is important to have patience.

"It is important to recover our injured players and to resolve ourselves to finish very well. In the world of soccer it is necessary to respect all rivals. It is unnecessary to make ourselves nervous and we still have two points advantage.

"We are leaders. Football is a question of form and in the bad times it is necessary to be calm."
