Carvajal Says ‘Goodbye’ to La Liga Title

With two games left to end the season in Spain, Real Madrid defender, Dani Carvajal, has said that it is better for the Carlo Ancelotti men to say “goodbye to the title” after slipping four points behind Barcelona

Real Madrid came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Valencia, while Barca’s win over Real Sociedad has put them in control.

Carvajal said: “At home we couldn’t slip up, we’ve done that and we say goodbye to the league.

“It’s painful because we wanted to fight until the final day, although we’ll keep on doing that.”

Barca only need to beat either Atletico Madrid or Deportivo La Coruna to win the league, subject to the suspension on Spanish football being lifted.

Real boss, Ancelotti, however insisted that the Champions League semifinalists will keep battling for the domestic title.

“We have two games remaining and have to try and win both,” the Italian said. “We’ll keep going, but it is evident that things are more difficult now.

“We are disappointed with the result, but we have a lot of confidence with how we played. They gave everything they could.”

Real Madrid’s next game is their Champions League semifinal second leg against Juventus on Wednesday as they bid to overturn a 2-1 first-leg defeat.
