Sergio Ramos is labelling Real Madrid’s La Liga title hopes as good as over if they emerge with anything other than a win from the Christmas Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday.
Real return to domestic action after their Club World Cup win having dropped to fourth in La Liga and a defeat at the Bernabeu would put them a huge 14 points behind leaders Barca.
Captain Ramos says winning their biggest game of the season is now an ‘obligation’ for Real if they are to have any hope of fighting to retain their title in the New Year.
