Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane has insisted that Real Madrid are still the most prestigious team in Spain despite Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga title win this season.
Real have won the title 33 times, more than any club in the history of the Spanish top-flight. However, the capital club has been 2nd best to Barca all season.
Currently holding a 12-point lead over Atletico Madrid and a four more ahead of Real, Barcelona are edging closer to their 26th La Liga crown, which will be their fourth in the last five years.
Zidane said, “La Liga is very important. It’s the daily objective,”
“It’s going to be our first objective for the next season.
“We have 33 Liga titles. How many do Barcelona have? It’s true they are doing great in the last few years, and we have to recognise them, but in our history there are many more titles. For me it’s the most important title to fight for.”
On Keylor Navas’ future at Madrid, he said, “I would understand if any of my goalkeepers wanted to leave the club in case of not being my first goalkeeper for the next season,” he said. “Anything can happen yet. It’s easy for you to talk about their future, but the difficult part is for me to decide and to talk to them.
“If I would like to keep the three I have nowadays? I can’t say that, cause sometimes I like some things and finally the opposite happens.
“We have 25 players, so if we want to sign players, some others have to leave.”
