Football: Mourinho cautious despite Real win
Mourinho's Real Madrid stretched their lead in La Liga to 10 points with a 4-2 victory over Levante.
MADRID:
Jose Mourinho attempted to play down title talk after his Real Madrid stretched their lead in La Liga to 10 points with a 4-2 victory over Levante. Cristiano Ronaldo rattled in his sixth hat-trick of the season as Real capitalised on second-placed Barcelona’s surprise 3-2 defeat at Osasuna earlier. “There are still many games, and each one is difficult,” said Mourinho. “They will get harder to win because from now on teams are fighting to avoid relegation and for the European places.”
