"Real" Madrid's center-back Pepe spoke after losing important points in Seville, saying that their chances of winning the Spanish "Primera" championship this season are very slim.
Yesterday, the royal club clashed with "Real Betis" away. At the beginning of the match, "Real" conceded a goal but dominated the entire 90 minutes, however, they could not secure the victory and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
"It won't be easy. Our chances of winning the league are very slim," Pepe said when asked about the possibility of triumphing in the Spanish championship.
"We have to continue working hard and fighting in every match. I think we deserved to win today, but the opponents were lucky. We tried to win. "Real Betis" scored a great goal, but they were just lucky. We pressed the opponents throughout the match, attacked them, but luck did not smile on us," added the long-time club defender.
"Real" is currently 4 points behind the leaders, but "Barcelona" has played one game less and could increase the advantage to 7 points.
