Mourinho: acquired advantage leaves room for our mistakes © EuroFootball.com

Madrid strategist Jose Mourinho admits that the club is very close to the title of champions of Spain.

Over the weekend, Barcelona sensationally lost to the team of Osasuna from Pamplona and allowed the capital team, which defeated Levante, to increase the gap in the standings to 10 points.

"Such an advantage leaves room for our mistakes," said the Portuguese. "Even if we suffer a defeat, we will not end up in a very difficult situation."

"However, there are still a lot of games and points left to be won. Each match becomes more and more difficult, as each team has less and less time left. Those who want to stay in the league or qualify for European cup competitions take risks and give their all. There are still 39 points or 13 wins left, which is really a lot."

Next match, Real will play at home against Racing Santander on February 18.
