Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists defeat to Barcelona on Sunday is no reason to panic.

Real meet Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday night trailing Barca in second place.

Zidane said, "These things happen. It would have been better not to have lost, but in the end they were three points. We lost them but tomorrow we have three new points to fight for and we're only thinking about that game.

"Now they're only saying that Barcelona will win the league and Real Madrid are not worth anything. I know and so do you that this is not true. We can't prevent people from talking. I tell my players that we don't have to change anything in what we're doing. We must continue working hard and moving forward. You can lose games in football."
