Real Madrid defender Ramos: Title is now impossible

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos says they must keep fighting after their 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid last night. Ramos scored Real Madrid's goal, but the result is a blow to their title hopes.

"The team put in a good performance. We were unlucky to concede that goal from a set-piece. We're having a great season. As long as there is a mathematical chance, Real Madrid has to fight. It's a shame because with just two matches to go it's nearly impossible.

"We've let a unique opportunity slip. We feel like we relaxed after we went 1-0 up and that was a big mistake. Focus has to be at a maximum and against a team whose safety is at stake you have to play it as if it were a final.

"They made the most of the only chance they had. The team's attitude was good, but perhaps we could have killed the game off."
