"Until [the end of the window], anything can happen, here and abroad." Madrid begin their title defence against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday at the end of the week in which they claimed the Spanish Super Cup with a 5-1 aggregate win over Barcelona. Zidane accepts Madrid have become an even bigger scalp for opponents given their success over the last two years and has urged his players not to allow their work-rate to drop. "As I always say, for us it's hard work that will allow us to achieve things," he said. "We're working well, we're in a good moment and we have to make the most of it.  "We know that [we're the team to beat], now more than before, but every opponent always wants to win against Madrid. We think about ourselves."Every game will be important because you have to start well if you want to win La Liga. Every game needs a tremendous effort." Marco Asensio scored spectacular goals in each of the Super Cup legs and has been tipped to start on Sunday in place of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is serving a five-match ban for pushing the referee after being sent off at Camp Nou in the Super Cup first leg. "Everyone knows what Asensio can bring. He's doing it better and better, he's phenomenal," Zidane said.</blockquote>
