Madrid are seven points adrift of leaders Barcelona with 17 games played and are fourth in the standings as they prepare to host Real Sociedad on Sunday. "We have to keep fighting and relish the challenge of taking on difficult situations, which is what we've been doing. We are happy with how we are doing and we have to keep on reducing the gap between us and the leaders." "Every team have players with talent to harm any team, it's a very competitive league and you shouldn't underestimate a draw against a team like Villarreal. We played well in the first half against Villarreal, now we're going to try and get three points on Sunday."
