Real Madrid stars: We're stronger than Barcelona

Real Madrid's Brazilians Robinho and Cicinho are convinced they can beat Barcelona for the championship after last night's victory at Athletic Bilbao.

Real remain two points behind the defending champs and Robinho declared: "The victory that we have obtained gives us three most important points for the future. Now we must think about the next game, where Sevilla waits for a direct confrontation."

"It will be very difficult because they also are gambling the possibility of being able to win the Liga. Sincerely, in the dressing room we are convinced we can be champions of this Liga. We are going to fight until the end for the championship. Tonight we have gained three key points to obtain our great objective."

Cicinho, back for his first start since suffering a knee injury at the start of the season, also said: "We must think about Sevilla, we want to win the Liga. We are winning away from home and at home, this is very good."

"I am not looking at the fitness of Barca, but we, yes, we are good shape. We have better physical training conditions than them. It is necessary to take advantage of it."
