Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is wary of going to Rayo Vallecano today.

Zidane admits Rayo's tight ground can be a problem.

“It's a difficult game, on a small pitch. We're up against a team who know how to play, who like to play, and put you under a lot of pressure at home. We know what it's like and it's going to be another very difficult game, especially early on. We're focused, we're going into it well, on a good run of form. We have to keep thinking that they are three important points and we're going to work and fight.

“We don't have a worse run-in. They are difficult games, three away and one at home. At home, we've got Valencia, who are a good team and are playing very well. There are four games and we know what we have to do to have any chance. We will try and win our four remaining games to give ourselves that hope."
