Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has said that there is nothing to worry about the draw with Malaga during the weekend, despite the fact that it is the second time in recent weeks that Real Madrid have dropped points.
As a result, their lead at the top of the table has been reduced to 8 points from a mammoth 10 points. Karim Benzema scored in the first half to give Real Madrid the lead, with looked enough for them to get all three points in the match.
However, Malaga player Santi Cazorla had other options of this mind, as he equalised in the dying minutes of the game to secure a point for Malaga.
After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo said that there is nothing to worry with regard to their ambitions to win the title this season, as they still hold an eight point advantage over second placed Barcelona. Barcelona appear to be coming into the form at just the right time, as Lionel Messi has been scoring a number of goals in the last few weeks.
Real Madrid will be making the trip to Villarreal in the midweek, which is going to be yet another difficult trip for the Los Blancos. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is confident that Real Madrid will return to winning ways against Villarreal. The best sports betting odds on Real Madrid winning the title remain at 4/6, with the eight point lead being enough to convince bookies and punters that this title is still Real's to lose.
"We still have an eight-point lead and there's nothing to worry about because the league is far from over. Malaga are a good side, hard to play against, but we didn't expect this result. That's football for you. We were unlucky to concede the equaliser in injury time after dominating the whole match, but we're calm about it. We suffer when we don't score," Cristiano Ronaldo said after the match on the official website of the club. Barcelona are yet to face Real Madrid at the Camp Nou.
