Marcelo targeting five wins

Real Madrid defender Marcelo concedes that his team need a perfect end to the season to stand a chance of winning the La Liga title ahead of Barcelona.

Real Madrid defender Marcelo has admitted that his team need to win each of their final five La Liga games to stand a chance of winning the title.

As it stands, Barcelona top the table by two points from Los Blancos, who will need the Catalan outfit to slip up at least once in their final five matches.

Should the teams finish level on points, Real Madrid would claim the trophy due to their superior head-to-head record.

"We have a very clear objective in our minds and that is to play every game as if it was a final," Marcelo told reporters.

"We have enough gas in the tank, while the team is doing well and everyone is in excellent physical condition.

"We trust the coach and he trusts us so we'll keep on fighting right until the end, although we don't know if Barcelona are going to slip up, but we are going try and win all our matches."

Real Madrid have won their last five in the league.
