"Griezmann is still one of the family and I defend my family to the death," Simeone told reporters. "Every single player needs to deliver, as you can't win a game with just a few footballers." Real have never won a league title since falling eight points or more behind the leading team but Zidane said his side were still not out of the title race despite this latest setback. "I don't think the league title is far away, there are still many games to come and many points to play for. I'm sure Barca will drop points," Zidane said.
