Zinédine Zidane, announced on Saturday night's departure by the Spanish press, denied Sunday having warned his players that he was going to quit his position as Real Madrid coach at the end of the season.

"How can I tell my players now that I'm going to leave?"

It's a lie, ”said the French technician at a press conference after Real's short success at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday (1-0) for the 37th and penultimate day of La Liga, a victory which allows the "Merengues" to still believe in their hopes of retaining their title in La Liga.

"I would never say that now"

"We're playing our lives in La Liga and I'm going to tell them I'm leaving?" No, it is not. I would never say that to my players now. At the end of the season, we'll see what happens, but for now, I'm focused on the end of the season, ”repeated“ ZZ ”at the microphone of Movistar. “We have one game left and we're going to give it our all. It's the one and only thing that matters to me at the moment, ”Zidane swept on Sunday after the success in Bilbao.

A denial supported by Nacho, the evening scorer for Real: "I saw that there is an info that came out, like what the coach would have given us a little speech the other day ... Uh, I think that he still has one more year of contract and that he is happy to be here with us as he always says.

It is a decision he will take in agreement with the club.

For now, we do not know, "said the Madrid defender, also focused on the fight for the title.

Another day to snatch the title from the Colchoneros

On Sunday night, Atletico almost lost everything against Osasuna before coming out with a goal from Suarez at the very end of the match.

It will only take one victory on the last day at Valladollid for Simeone's men to win their first title since 2014. The Pucelanos are practically relegated, but they still have a very small chance of getting out of it and their president is a certain Ronaldo Nazario, who will be keen to give a helping hand to Real Madrid.
