Zinedine Zidane has denied telling Real Madrid players this past week that he would leave the club, claiming he “would never, ever say that to my players”.

“How could I tell the players I’m leaving now? We’re giving our everything for the title and I just say ‘by the way, I’m off’?” Zidane told reporters.

“People outside the club can say whatever they like, but I would never, ever say that to my players.”

Despite beating Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, Zidane’s men are in danger of finishing 2020-21 without a trophy, as they remain two points behind Atletico Madrid in La Liga with one match to go. The leaders earned a last-gasp victory over Osasuna this weekend in a blow to Real Madrid’s ambitions.

Real Madrid must win next weekend and see Atletico Madrid lose in order to claim the league title.

They face Villarreal, while Atletico will visit a Valladolid side fighting to avoid relegation.

Atletico Madrid and Suarez are on fire and are therefore favourites to win the La Liga title this season.
