Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois has admitted that their chances of winning LaLiga are all but over, following a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona on Sunday.

The result leaves Los Blancos 12 points behind the league leaders.

Madrid took the lead at Camp Nou thanks to Ronald Araujo’s own goal.

But Sergi Roberto equalised before half-time, before Franck Kessie scored in added time.

The result means Barca are on course for their first league title since 2019.

“Yes, we have to be honest,” Courtois told Movistar, when asked if the title race was over.

“We wanted to fight until the end, but now it’s four games’ difference… They’d have to lose four games, and we’d have to win all of them. Nothing is impossible, but it’s very difficult.”
