Losing el clasico won’t kill me—- Madrid Coach

Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui said he will “keep breathing” after Sunday’s el clasico, whatever happens in the game against Barcelona.

Lopetegui is under severe pressure as his side go into the match four points adrift of table-topping Barcelona and his team went 481 minutes without scoring, the longest period in the club’s 116-year history.

Reports in Spain suggest that Lopetegui, who was dismissed as Spain head coach the day before the World Cup started, will be sacked if he loses on Sunday.
