The Real Madrid academy graduate was happy with the win over Real Betis, as Los Blancos grinded out a 2-3 result at the Benito Villamarin.
Gonzalo Higuain and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 combined together to lead Real Madrid’s charge, leading the outfit from the Spanish capital to their 11th away win of the season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Vidal started the proceedings for Los Verdiblancos after just 10 minutes of the match. However, the hosts’ jubilations were short lived, as Higuain scored to bring Los Blancos back into the game.
Betis started the second half in a positive fashion, but could do less as Cristiano Ronaldo scored seven minutes after the restart.
Jefferson http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 scored his second, and the winner of the night, during the 74th minute.
Reflecting on the match, Real Madrid academy graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919, praised Los Blancos’ ability to rise on the occasion to make the victory theirs. Granero believes that Madrid’s dominance in the current Spanish top flight football season can
be attributed to this ability.
"We're leaders because we respond well in complicated fixtures, such as the ones in Vallecas and Getafe, and now versus Betis," Granero was quoted on the official Real Madrid website.
The former Getafe man praised the resilient attitude of Real Betis, who made life difficult for Jose Mourinho’s men. He opined that they were aware of the potential threat of the Andalusian side but did not anticipate their forward movement.
"We knew the match would be complicated. Betis put pressure in attack and didn't let us play our game.”
With 12 matches remaining, Real Madrid are all but ensured of La Liga glory in the current campaign.
Despite being pleased with the form of Spanish giants, Granero stated that there are a lot of matches still to be played and such statements are premature to say at the moment.
"We're in good form and top the table, but there are still a lot of games left."
Madrid return their focus on UEFA Champions League as they welcome the Russian side, CSKA Moscow, to the Santiago Bernabeu in midweek.
