Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says they will keep chasing down Barcelona in the Liga.
Real thumped Valencia 6-3 at the Mestalla on Saturday, but Barca maintain an eight point lead on their eternal rivals.
"The response from my players is always positive. I'm very happy, since Valencia is third and one of the major teams in the Liga, but we've taken this game very seriously," said Mourinho.
"Until the mathematics say otherwise we will fight for the Liga until the end."
