Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso says that his team is ready to fight for the championship in La Lisa until the end of the season. The Spanish coach stated this after the decisive victory over Betis (5:1) in the 18th round match of the Spanish Championship.

“This was the last match of the first half of the season, and we scored 45 points. This pace allows for bi-finishing with 90 points. Now it’s our responsibility to continue playing. An even intensive schedule keeps us busy until the very end.. And starting tomorrow we will focus on the Super Cup,” Alonso said..

After the match, Xabi Alonso also clarified the situation with personnel costs. Serious striker Kylian Mbappe missed the ball through a sprained left knee. However, the Frenchman’s participation in the Super Cup is not yet off the table.

" We are waiting until Tuesday, if the team reaches Saudi Arabia, and our country is assessed. The remainder of the decision is beyond praise. “We still give you a chance,” said the Real Madrid coach.

In fact, the situation in Chuamen looks much more optimistic.

The Frenchman withdrew from a painful goal and made substitutions in the match against Betis, but suffered from serious injury.

“We’ll definitely go to Arabia,” Alonso confirmed.

After 18 rounds, Real sits next in the La Liga standings with 45 points. The position in the leading city of Barcelona adds up to several points.
