Zinedine Zidane: La Liga is not over yet... there's still 33 games to play!
The Madrid manager's not worried about the gap to Barça
Los Blancos have not won any of their three home games
Zinedine Zidane sent a message of tranquility ahead of Real Madrid's trip to Alaves on Saturday, with Barcelona playing Girona later in the day.
Madrid's midweek loss to Real Betis saw them slip seven points behind early leaders Real Madrid.
"If I had a seven-point lead, I would not be saying the season is over," Zidane said. "Each team will have a bad period over the season. In football, everything can happen. This is long -- we have 33 games left to play.
"This is a bad moment for us, but I am very happy with how we are playing. The press can talk about things, but we are not going to change what we are doing.
"Before I was lucky, now I am jinxed. But I am still lucky, don't worry. I love my job and enjoy it every day. This will turn around, we are not worried about that."
Zidane's Madrid are yet to win at the Santiago Bernabeu in the league this season -- the loss to Betis followed draws with Valencia and Levante -- so will be happy to be on the road this weekend.
Alaves have already sacked their manager and have lost all five of their opening fixtures without scoring a goal.
