Real Sociedad captain Mikel Oyarzabal says they're determined to finish in the top four.

La Real suffered a setback to their Champions League hopes with last week's Basque derby defeat to Athletic Bilbao.

But Oyarzabal said: "The team wants the Champions League. We have to give value to what we are doing and not lose perspective when things are not going so well.

"We will be more or less successful, but we are going to fight for the Champions League as if our lives depended on it.

"We have been in Europe for three years in a row and two years ago we have won a title, but the feeling when some games are lost is that we are bad. I think you have to be aware of what you are doing.

"It seems that you have to qualify for the Champions League with three games to go and with 10 rental points, I think you have to think with your head and with your feet on the ground."
