SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Julen Lopetegui, Real Madrid head coach (on if Gareth Bale is ready to fill role left by Cristiano Ronaldo):

"Good evening. First of all, I don't believe anyone has to bear the weight of anything. He has to be a part of a team and give his best, for himself as well as for the team, which is what Gareth is doing. He is of course a great player. That's how he's done before and that's how he has to continue, same as the rest of his teammates. I don't like to make comparisons, that's more for you to make."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Julen Lopetegui, Real Madrid head coach (on if Luka Modric will stay and if Mateo Kovacic will leave):

"Nothing is one hundred percent certain. It's true that Mateo (Kovacic) has expressed his desire to exit. I wish for him to stay. He is an important player for us and so we'll see how it ends up. If he leaves, we'll undoubtedly look for for solutions. And (Luka) Modric, I'll repeat what I told you the other day, the president spoke and I don't have anything to add."
