Real Madrid

Second team captain Sergio Ramos told the media he is happy with the win at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

"The squad is strong, excited and driven... It would be a shame to let this title slip through our fingers after the great effort and sacrifices we've made all season."

"Taking three points was vital after drawing against Valencia. A team like Real Madrid lives with pressure, but we know how to withstand it and we have to be ready for everything. Each match is a matter of life and death. We earned an important victory tonight. Everything turned out well and we're calm."

"We don't think Barcelona are going to drop many points, but we depend on ourselves and our four point cushion allows us to keep up the good work."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. We're lucky to train with him every day and to have him with us."
