"I'm not sure whether we've put in a better performance since I took over. We produced a great display and it was far from easy to go out and score three goals tonight."
"There's still a long way to go, both in LaLiga and the Champions League. We haven't won anything yet."
The return leg
"You could certainly say that we were the better side today. The 3-0 scoreline reflects what a good performance it was. However, there's still the second leg and we'll have to work hard and battle and we're sure to have to dig in there."
Ronaldo's performance levels
"I don't know whether it's all down to him being rested. He's got goals in him and he's unique. It's important for him to rest from time to time and he knows that."
The future
"I'm happy. Every day I'm enjoy my work with the players. However, we haven't won anything yet, I'm delighted that we've put in a great performance tonight."
“I’m enjoying an incredible experience. I’m very happy with my work on a day-to-day basis and with everything I’m experiencing here”.
Nacho
“He’s a player who can slot into any position across the defence and do an equally brilliant job. He’s got great concentration and quality”.
The squad
“We try and get it across to the squad that there are 24 fantastic players here. Since I took charge, every player is important for me."
