Goalkeeper Iker Casillas insists Real Madrid cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves after dropping two more points in the race for the Primera Division title.u00a0Madrid were held to a goalless draw by Valencia at the Bernabeu to leave themselves just four points clear of Barcelona at the top. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Cristiano.jpg" /> Wasteful: Real Madrid players frustrated after Cristiano Ronaldo fails to score (inset) Iker Casillas. Pic/Getty Images Jose Mourinho&rsquo;s side have now dropped six points in their last five games, while they still have to face Barca &mdash; who face Getafe tonight &mdash; at the Nou Camp later this month. But Casillas feels the players have to put Sunday night&rsquo;s disappointment behind them and focus on the Madrid derby against Atletico. &ldquo;We had more chances than Valencia, but they also had several and we could have dropped more points,&rdquo; he said on the club&rsquo;s website. &ldquo;Mentality is very important. The lead we had has been reduced, but we shouldn&rsquo;t cry about it. We have a large lead, but it isn&rsquo;t definitive and we must continue focussing on one game at a time. &ldquo;We must focus on winning against Atletico Madrid. This moves very quickly and we play many games in few days. We have to go on.u00a0&ldquo;The derby will be a difficult match and we expect Atletico to be motivated, especially after their defeat against Levante and because they haven&rsquo;t defeated us in a very long time. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve reached the Europa League semi-finals and they have to continue winning in order to stay at the top of their game.u00a0&ldquo;Every match is vital and they&rsquo;ll all be like finals, so we&rsquo;ll think about Bayern Munich (in the Champions League semi-finals), Sporting (Gijon) and Barcelona after facing Atletico, who are the ones that matter to us right now. &ldquo;We want to take the three points we failed to take last night. Real Madrid can lose the league title because we haven&rsquo;t won it yet mathematically and there is a team close behind that also have a lot at stake.u00a0&ldquo;We cannot live just on the fact that our lead used to be 10 and eight points strong.&rdquo;
