Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says only a win will do tonight against Almeria.

Real aren't giving up on pipping Barcelona for the La Liga title.

Ancelotti said: "All the games are a matter of life and death now. We will approach this match with that mentality. This is going to be an important fixture. A tricky and challenging game. We are entering into a stage of the season in which all our encounters will determine the outcome of the future.

"We are focused on this match and are aware of how difficult the remaining games are. We are going to try to be at our best. The team are in good shape, playing well, and we can play with full intensity for the final stage of the season."
