Real Madrid might be 10 points adrift of the pole position in La Liga and have to get past an in-form Liverpool in the last 16 stage of the UEFA Champions League but midfielder Fernando Gago is confident that they can conquer both Spain and Europe.
Speaking to AS, the Argentine international defensive midfielder enthused that they can still win the Spanish first division title as well as the UEFA Champions League.
Gago said:
“The league and the Champions League are both feasible goals.
“While mathematically the league is difficult, we are not going to give anything up, even though there is a large difference up to Barcelona. My aim is to grow each day, and for 2009 to be an important year for both the team and for myself. We want to play for both the league and the Champions League, and we have six months to do that.
“One must not give anything up. Two years ago the gap was also large, and we won on the last day. Barcelona at the moment are doing very well and we have had a small dip, but if we begin to win we can put them under pressure.”
