Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho admits his side are suffering from fatigue as they challenge on three fronts after his stars laboured to a fortunate 2-1 win over derby rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday to stay five points behind Barcelona in the title race.

Real needed a stellar display from their goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas to net the three points at the Vicente Calderon after first half goals from Karim Benzema and Mesut Ozil had put them 2-0 up.
