Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is convinced the team is now improving after victory over Real Valladolid.

Ramos says Real will not give up on reigning in Barcelona's 11 point lead.

"The team is always trying to improve. There is still a lot of Liga ahead of us and many points to be determined. What counts now is that we keep playing better and better, and that the Real Madrid fans feel proud of us, despite everything. It's undeniable that we have to keep improving," said Ramos.
