Zidane's Post-Match Presser:

"It's important for us to win games, but the manner in which we do it is significant too."

"What I'd like to underline yet again, is the discipline from the first minute until the last, how we showed respect for our opponents and played with real intensity."

"When we lost the ball we pressured really well, and of course when you score early on it makes things easier”.


Praise for Cristiano
“I'm happy for him because it's very well deserved. The rest of us here with him haven't got four Ballon d'Ors. It's a bit strange to do it before the match but that's the way it is and everything's gone fine in the end”.

Madrid in his time as a player and now
“I don't like to make comparisons. Our team was a great side and today's is just the same. It's always been like that here, Madrid has always had the best, some incredible players. We're showing that now and we're doing a great job”.

Clean sheet
“That really is key, not just for the goalkeeper, but for everyone. We are doing well and it's great to keep a clean sheet.If we can keep this up then that's great”.

Squad rotation
“All the players are important for me and they all have to play. I always tell my players that we will win things as a unit.With this many games they can all play. We can make squad rotations so that all players feel valued”.

Record
“It's satisfying to match this record but the main thing is what we are doing out on the pitch. We now have another game against Sevilla to play and I know we'll be up against it."

"The idea is to give our all in every game and be ready physically and focus so that we can achieve great things”.

Modric:

“We played a good game, it was a complete performance. We scored five goals and could have had more."

"We’re very pleased with how we’ve started the year. The coach asks us to pressure high up and we’re able to do that well when we’re fresh physically. We need to keep this rhythm up”.

“We worked very hard in the days leading up to the Sevilla game and we’re seeing that on the pitch now. We had a week off and then did a mini pre-season when we came back”.

Marcelo:

“We started at an impressive pace and with discipline, it was a difficult game but the intensity we were able to show made the game a bit easier."

"We're not thinking about the unbeaten run, we have to take it game by game. It's impossible to win everything but that's what we'll try and do, always respecting our opponents and working hard, just as we've done in pre-season and the winter break."

"We're aiming to win every competition we're involved in”.

His anniversary at Real Madrid
“It's an honour and I'm very proud to have been at Real Madrid for ten years. It was wonderful to hear the fans chanting my name and applauding”.

Carvajal:

"The holidays have done us good. We've recharged our batteries and we're very focused."

"We've kept two clean sheets in a row, scored a lot of goals and that's how we want to continue. We're on a great run of form and it's clear to see the team is playing as a unit."

"It's a very well guided ship and we hope we'll end up winning trophies”.

“The coach picks out specifics that we need to work on and we have to aim to have the team 100% fit with no injuries by March or April time."

"We know that we have to control the feeling of euphoria, we have a long way to go and two particularly difficult games."

"The demand placed on Real Madrid is to always win and we hope to get to the end of the season in a position where we are fighting for everything”.

Nacho:

“It is important to be right at the top and breaking records. The records count if you go on to win titles later on."

"We are in a good dynamic now, and when we weren’t before, the team suffered as a consequence and we lost key games."

"All of the players who play go out and perform well and that is what the coach wants to see”.

A good start
“We have started the year well, the other day against Sevilla we had a scintillating first half and we have to keep on is this way."

"We want to do things well and not let the Club World Cup badge on our chests weigh us down. Our aim is to pick up all available points and win all our games in both the Champions League and Copa del Rey”.

Can we talk about how good Varane has been of late. A mixture of no errors and calm defending.

Since that mistake where he tried a 360 and got Ramos sent off, he's been flawless. Figured out when to clear and when to keep ball in play, he's becoming a class ball playing CB too. All this happening because he's getting consistent playing minutes.

World class, and he'll evolve even more.

Isco is scheduled to have an MRI scan tomorrow, after he was taken off as precaution in the 2nd half against Granada!

Hope he's alright!
