Rijkaard not giving up yet

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard said Monday he has no intention of conceding the Spanish title to Real Madrid, even though his team are nine points adrift of the leaders.
"Real Madrid is the best team in the League, they don't drop points. But we cannot give up the title, we must continue to work and put our hearts into it," the Dutchman told a news conference. "We will not give up anything."
Real Madrid beat Villareal 3-2 on Sunday, their eighth consecutive win for the team which has not dropped a single point at home this season.
With Barcelona's 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao, the League champions are now nine points clear of their rivals.
The Catalan team plays Glasgow Celtic next month in the last 16 of the Champions League and faces Villarreal in the quarterfinals second leg of the Spanish Cup on Thursday.
