Pepe: Real belief getting stronger
Posted Saturday, February 18, 2012 by ESPN
Real Madrid defender Pepe has hailed the growing belief in the squad as they look to finally end the dominance of bitter rival Barcelona.
Barca have won La Liga three straight times but their grip on the crown appears to be slipping as Jose Mourinho's men have jumped out to a 10 point lead with 16 games remaining.
Real are at home to struggling Racing Santander on Saturday while the Catalans face much sterner opposition when Valencia visit on Sunday.
Many observers believe that should Barca fall further behind Madrid over the weekend, the title race would be all but over which Pepe feels would be a deserved result.
"Each day we get stronger," Pepe told reporters.
"Our team is doing very well.
"I would like to tell our fans to keep support us because each day we have more strength to win things.
"We have a very good squad, with a lot of quality.
"We are working well to win titles."
Real last won the title back in the 2007/08 season when they finished eight points above second placed Villarreal and a massive 18 points ahead of Barca in a third.
