Real Madrid chief Butragueno on Celta Vigo draw: We're not saying goodbye to title

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno denies the LaLiga title is lost after their disappointing draw at Celta Vigo.

Real drew 2-2, with Gareth Bale scoring twice.

"We do not say goodbye to the Liga because we are Madrid, there is a lot left and these players have shown us what they are capable of," said Butragueno.

"It was a shame, the first half I think it was pretty even, at the most delicate moment Bale has turned the game around, the second half looked good but the truth is that the weight of the second half was theirs. They had the ball and made us pay."

On Bale, he added: "He has looked very good for the way he took the two goals, it gives an idea of how he understands the game.

"He has shown everything he can do for us in three or four minutes."
