Pepe conceded that a 2-2 draw at home to Valencia on Saturday left Real Madrid's title challenge in pieces.
Real Madrid defender Pepe has accepted that the 2-2 draw with Valencia now makes winning the Liga title an unlikely goal.
Although Real finished level with Nuno Espirito Santo's men, things could have been even worse as it was forced to come from 2-0 down to salvage a point after first-half goals from Paco Alcacer and Javi Fuego.
Real seemed to be devoid of luck on the day, as it struck the frame of the goal three times before the break and even saw a Cristiano Ronaldo spot kick saved by Diego Alves on the stroke of halftime.
