Real Madrid Ironic take on the post-Clasico debate

The three gifts that could cost Real Madrid the LaLiga title

MARCA readers still back Real Madrid to win LaLiga

The LaLiga title race was blown wide open with Barcelona's victory in Sunday's Clasico and Zinedine Zidane said he had no problem with the post-match observations.

He acknowledged that Barcelona are now some people's favourites to claim the title and joked that all of Los Blancos' good work this season was deemed worthless in a second.

"Everybody is entitled to think what they want, like [the idea that] now Barcelona will win LaLiga and Real Madrid are worthless," he said in Tuesday's press conference.

"We won't change anything about what we're doing.

"[The Clasico] was a match it would have been good not to lose, but at the end we lost three points and now we have another three up for grabs tomorrow.

"We are only thinking about tomorrow's game. We are fine and are concentrating on what we have to do."

Spending a large portion of his press conference discussing injuries, Zidane firstly refused to reveal if Raphael Varane is fit enough to fill in for the suspended Sergio Ramos.

"You will see tomorrow [if Varane will play]," he told reporters.

"He is doing well and has trained well and you'll see the starting line-up tomorrow."

As for Gareth Bale, who has been ruled out for the next three weeks, Zidane insisted he wouldn't change the way he dealt with the Welshman's recovery.

"I would do things the same way," he said.

"[Bale] is the first one to feel upset.

"He was 100 percent and he told me he was 100 percent, but then some things happen which are unavoidable.

"When you've had a long injury and return it can seem as though all is well, but in time there is always a further little niggle."

Without Bale, and potentially with Varane, Real Madrid take on Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday evening, a match which kicks off at 21:30 CET.
