Iker Casillas thinks it is far too early to write off Real Madrid's titles hopes in the Primera Liga despite trailing Barcelona by eight points.

The veteran goalkeeper also voiced his support for team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, who matched Lionel Messi with two goals in Sunday's Clasico, in the race with the Argentine superstar for this year's Ballon d'Or award. He said: "I choose Cristiano, it's clear. Because he is a player who has brought us an awful lot during all these seasons and I know him well."
