Robben And Higuain Confident Despite Draw

Arjen Robben and Gonzalo Higuain are not concerned with Real Madrid's draw at home to Atletico, with both of them believing that the club will taste success come the end of the season.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Robben said, "It was a wide open game, with many chances for both teams. "

"Anyway, six points is less than twelve," he continued. "We can win the league."

He then touched on the road ahead, stating, "We have to recover as soon as possible, because we have a difficult game in three days. We are going to try and win all our remaining games."

Gonzalo Higuain, meanwhile, was not disappointed at the manager's decision to play him off the bench, saying, "We do not depend on one or two players, we are a team. Today was not a step backwards, because we got one point."

"It was important to win, but a draw is not a disaster," he continued. "The gap is only two games."

Like Robben, Higuain then turned his attentions to Liverpool, stating, "There are no doubts, only desires. We have the team to win at Anfield."
