Real Madrid

Gonzalo Higuain and Iker Casillas shared their views on the match against Malaga in the mixed zone.

Higuain
"It was a complicated game against a difficult opponent. We didn't do well in the first half, but we proved we wanted to win the game despite conceding two goals. We'll have a victory advantage in Malaga, which is a very important thing to have in a two leg knock-out stage."

"We're grateful for the crowd's support. It's hard for teams to beat us when the Bernabeu cheers us on like this. They had a lot to do in this comeback and I hope they continue to support us this way."

Casillas
"We made things difficult for ourselves in the first half, but we played differently after half-time, looking for open spaces and a victory. Real Madrid will always try to do their best. We gave two goals away because we weren't experiencing many problems and we gave a good performance. We'll have the advantage in the return leg, but we cannot afford to relax."
