Real Madrid assistant coach Zinedine Zidane has refused to play down talk of Los Blancos winning the treble this season.

As it stands, the capital outfit are three points clear at the top of La Liga, into the final of the Copa del Rey and on the cusp on the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"Of course we should be talking about it. That's normal. When you play for Real Madrid, you know what the objectives are. The club aims as high as possible. That's Real Madrid. You're expected to win everything in front of you," he told El Confidencial.

"We're in a good position in all three competitions: in the Copa del Rey final, top of the league and close to the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

"We have to keep going as we are and stay conscious of the fact that it is very difficult, because there are some very good teams. If we stay focused and keep working like this, we can achieve big things."

Zidane stepped into a coaching position with Madrid at the start of the season.
