Forlán Unconcerned By Goal Drought Diego Forlán is looking forward to the Madrid derby next weekend and hopes to be able to end his current goal drou

The Uruguayan striker has not scored for several weeks and must now attempt to find the net again against Iker Casillas, who is having an outstanding season.

After failing to score on Sunday against Valencia, Forlán was substituted during the second half but it has not affected his confidence.

"I am not nervous or worried," he explained.

"It is the same challenge as I have against every keeper. It is a game against a great team and against one of the best goalkeepers, but it is still just one more match."

Forlán admitted that he is surprised at how much of an advantage Real Madrid have built up at the top of the table and defended Los Merengues against the criticism that they are winning and not playing well.

"They are a great team, with a strong squad and they have a powerful forward line," he said.

"They are the leaders with a ten, no seven, points advantage and that was not something that was expected at this.

"People can say what they like, but they are up there and have created a big gap."
