Alaves midfielder Tomas Pina insists they're capable of upsetting Real Madrid this weekend.

Real go into the clash without a win - or a goal - from the past three games.

Pina enthused: "Due to the pressure they're under, they are sure not to play as loose as they used to. The key for us is to be intense and to stay strong defensively, it is obvious that they do not have the punch of other years but they are the best players in the game. And in the world.

"They have some injuries and it seems that (Luka) Modric is not at his best now. You never know if it's better to take them now for the results they are reaping or just the opposite."
