Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane says the players are excited about the imminent return of the LaLiga.

It is thought that LaLiga Santander may resume from June 11, when Sevilla will play Real Betis, but this is not set in stone.

Nevertheless, Varane emphasised that Real Madrid are improving day by day as they look to overturn their two-point deficit to Barcelona at the top of the table.

"We're looking forward to competing," Varane told Real Madrid TV.

"This work is our nature and we always want to compete.

"We've not played football for a long time, so we are very eager and want to win everything as always.

"We're getting better and better every day.

"We work hard on our physical side and we're getting back to a good feeling and improving on a tactical level.

"Above all, we are getting back to our best."
