Ancelotti says fatigue hurting real's game

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes his side struggled physically as its La Liga title hopes were dented by a 2-2 draw at home to Valencia on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid's 2-0 away loss to Levante earlier in the day had opened the door for Real to close to within three points of its city rival with a game in hand.

Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning injury time equalizer, Real could only manage a point - which leaves Atletico needing just four points from its remaining two games to take the title for the first time in 18 years.
