Real Madrid president Vicente Boluda has declared that his side expect to win La Primera Division this season, despite trailing Barcelona by 12 points at present.
Due to the Catalans impeccable form at the top of the table, the defending champions have struggled to keep pace and the destination of the trophy already appears decided.
However, Boluda believes that his side, who have looked impressive under Juande Ramos, can turn the tables on Barca.
"We are continuing in good spirits, he told Marca. We expect to overtake them and win the league. I think we are capable [of doing so]. There are many difficult things to achieve in life but nothing is impossible.
Madrid do not seem to have lost any faith in their play, establishing a gap between themselves and third placed Sevilla with a strong winning run.
Aside from the league, los Blancos have been the centre of attention lately due more Cristiano Ronaldo rumours. Specifically, it has been reported that they have taken a loan out to sign the Manchester United player.
The Real Madrid president brushed away such suggestions, claiming that the club have done no such thing.
"We have not asked for any money, he declared. Asking for money for the month of June makes no sense. There is not a chance for us to sign anybody at the moment.
Boluda is acting as Real Madrid president following the departure of Ramon Calderon, but it is widely believed that he will step down in the summer.
