Zidane: Real Madrid players ready for Eibar restart

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says they're ready for Sunday's restart against Eibar.

The Frenchman feels that the players have prepared well ahead of the remaining eleven matches which he feels will be like cup finals.

"My players know what it is to play in a final stretch [of a season]," he said during his press conference.

"The important thing is the preparation and we prepared very very well.

"We are prepared and I have faith in what we have done and now we have to prove it.

"We are lucky to play again. We have worked very well physically. We are ready to start.

"We are two points behind and we have 11 finals left. We are going to give it our all to win this title."

The remaining matches, for now, will be played without fans in attendance although talk has been circulating of possibly allowing stadiums to allow 30 percent of their capacity.

"I prefer to play with an audience," Zidane mentioned.

"At the moment there will be none.

"Later on, if those in charge change this, we will see."
