Former Spain striker Raul says that Real Madrid's 2-2 draw with Barcelona on Sunday has kept the La Liga title race alive.

Former Real Madrid striker Raul believes that his former club's 2-2 draw with Barcelona on Sunday "was a fair result".

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both struck two goals apiece as they shared the points at the Nou Camp – a result which Raul believes has kept the title race open.

"I would obviously have liked it if had Madrid won the game and closed the gap on Barca a bit, but a draw was a fair result in my opinion," he told Al Jazeera.

"Both teams were on top of their game and put in a good performance, looking for a reward in the form of the full three points. Neither of the teams got the victory they were after, but it was a game to remember.

"The title race isn't over just yet. There are still many games to be played. It's true that Barcelona are in a better position, though, as they maintained their eight-point lead."

Madrid remain eight points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
