Zinedine Zidane gave his final press conference of the season to preview tomorrow's game against Deportivo at Riazor, where Real Madrid will be contesting the league title.
Do you think Granada will do everything possible to beat Barça?
I'm not going to enter into that. All I can tell you is what we are going to do. Tomorrow's game for us is a final, and we have to put in the best game we can to take all three points. That the only thing on our minds. What matters is winning our game tomorrow. Everything else, as always, I'm not going to talk about.
Do you think third party bonuses should be legalized?
I don't know what you're talking about - honestly. I am only focused on what we are going to do tomorrow. I know that this is the last league press conference of the season and that there will be questions asked. All we are focused on is our football and what we want to do tomorrow.
What do Madrid need to do at Riazor?
Enter the game strongly. It'll be difficult because we're away from home… Depor are a good side, they know how to play football and in front of their fans, they'll be keen to finish the season well. As always, we'll be going into the game knowing that it will be difficult, but we are focused on the job we need to do. If we are focused from the first minute to the last, we'll fight to win the game.
Do you think you've earned the right to continue as Madrid coach?
I don't know what I have won. The important thing is the work we have ben doing - above all, the players. There were a lot of doubts but I haven't won anything yet to make me think I'll continue.
How's the team?
Every day you are thinking on improving, physically, the team's fine. Our injury problems are behind us.
Atlético players claim that the Champions League final is the game of their lives...
The game of our lives is tomorrow's, because we will be playing for an important trophy. After that we have another important game which we want to win. The final will be at 50% and if anyone says otherwise, they're lying.
What have you learned and what have you promised the players if they win the league?
I haven't promised them anything. I've learned what it means to coach at this level, every three days. It hasn't been easy but I'm comfortable and I am happy.
What percentage of probabilities do Madrid have of winning the league?
I'm not going to say. We're going to win tomorrow.
