Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro insists title race not over

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro insists the title race isn't over after victory at Huesca.

Real came from behind to win 2-1 on Saturday.

Casemiro said: “There are still 51 points to play for and that means there's a lot of games still to come. We have to take it one game at a time and focus on Getafe now. There's still a long way to go but I still believe."

He continued: "I'm delighted with the win and well done to the squad because this was a very tough match, with so many players missing."

“We controlled the game and played really well in the first half. In the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second half they pressed us, created chances and scored a great goal. But we fought back. First with Benzema's free-kick that Varane headed in. Then we kept pressing for the winner."
