Real Madrid still believe until final moment.

Alvaro Arbeloa has said that Real Madrid will "continue to fight until the last moment" that they can snatch the Liga title away from Barcelona.

Madrid will go into next weekend's final round of fixtures one point adrift of Barca and as the only team who can prevent their main rivals from retaining the trophy after a dramatic day on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid were beaten 2-1 at already-relegated Levante, means they are out of the title race, while Madrid edged Valencia 3-2 and Barca thrashed Espanyol 5-0.

Full-back Arbeloa told Movistar Plus: "We lost two league titles in Tenerife [so its very possible for Barca to lose points]. We will believe until the last moment, just like we believed in Lisbon [in the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico]."

Arbeloa came off the bench late in his side's victory over Valencia for his final Madrid appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The experienced full-back will leave the club at the end of the current campaign after seven seasons that have yielded La Liga, Champions League, Club World Cup and two Copa del Rey winner's medals.

The former Liverpool man was afforded a huge reception from the Bernabeu faithful and a warm send-off from his team-mates after the full-time whistle, and he added: "I will not retire from football. I hope to play more until I'm just an amateur.

"I will come here when I can but in Spain I cannot wear any shirt other than this.

"I have been proud to wear this shirt. It's the best thing that can happen to any player.

"Every second I've spent on this field has been the best of my life."
