Real Madrid attacker Jese Rodriguez insists that his team must beat Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday before thinking about results elsewhere.

Real Madrid attacker Jese Rodriguez has called on his teammates to put in a professional performance when they travel to Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.

Los Blancos will enter their final league match one point behind leaders Barcelona, who will visit Granada at the same time as their Clasico rivals.

Real need a favour from Granada in order to stand a chance of snatching the title from Barcelona, but Jese has insisted that his team must first take care of their own match.

"We are preparing for Depor as just one more game, yet we must look ourselves in the face and go for it because we cannot fail. The worse thing would be if we didn't win and there was a surprise in Granada, so we will go out with the intention of winning, as usual," Jese told Real Madrid's official website.

"We really want to win this last league match. It doesn't depend on us to win the title but we can't afford to slip up. We are Real Madrid and have to win. Then we must wait to see what happens in Granada."

Real have won their last 11 La Liga matches to take the race to the final weekend of the season.
