What are the managers saying ahead or Real Madrid vs Espanyol?

Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid: "We know that in every match we can not relax, because the opponents always want to have a good game. What we want is to do well and give our best tomorrow, give everything. That's what we're going to try to do, to give everything on the pitch.

"Espanyol are a team that don't deserve to be in the position they are in in the table. I said it once or twice, the Spanish teams are very good.

"They are going through a bad moment in terms of points but not in terms of how they play, because they are a team that play very good football.

"We know, we are focused and we aren't by a long stretch playing against the bottom team. We know the game is going to be very complicated, very difficult, and if you let them play, they can make it very difficult for you".

Pablo Machin, Espanyol: "We must strengthen the moments in which we have been really competitive. I have been able to win twice against Real Madrid, but each game is different and, at the Bernabéu, the options are even more difficult, and we are going to look for them."
