Real Madrid prefer the Champions League?

Asked if Real Madrid preferred the Champions League to domestic Liga business, James was clear: "As everyone knows, nobody wants to do badly at anything. The truth is in the Liga we've drawn our last two games. But we've got another match in the league on Sunday and we'll be going out to win". 

As to his personal performance, James said that he was feeling better "every day", but that his only aim was to help Real Madrid.
