What managers say

Zinedine Zidane: "For me there is not the A team and the B team. We are all together in the same boat. The others, those who play a lot, play well too. It's not that they do badly. These are players who do not always play, and what they did [against Deportivo] was phenomenal, in the rhythm, the seriousness right from start. I have a phenomenal group and they are all ready for the end of the season. We have just finals left to play now." [via Sky Sports]

Voro: "La Liga ends on 21 May, but we do not have specific goals. We have to try our best in each match. There are no specific goals and ours is to win the most matches. It is a shame that we lost [against Real Sociedad], you have to look for incentives to win matches." [via Marca]
