Mourinho: Barca are still in the race
Posted Wednesday, February 01, 2012 by ESPN
Jose Mourinho has lashed out at the Spanish media for prematurely deciding on this season's Primera Divison winners.
With their 3-1 victory over Real Zaragoza last weekend, current La Liga leaders Real Madrid now holds the advantage of being seven points clear from La Liga arch-rivals Barcelona.
Mourinho, however, refuses to believe that Los Blancos are certain for the title and has hit out at the domestic press for reporting otherwise.
"Is seven points a lot? The press might think so, but I disagree," the Portuguese said in an interview with Lusa.
"The people who write that we are the new champions and that Barcelona can't bounce back are the same people who previously tried to create divisions and conflicts at Madrid.
"They will claim that we are in crisis again as soon as we spill points again. They're the ones trying to undermine the balance at Madrid. I am calm though and ready to deal with anything good or bad."
Madrid's next match will see them visit Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday.
