Real Madrid conceded no goals thanks to the excellent work done by their defenders. Two of them, Arbeloa and Garay, were very happy with the victory.

ARBELOA
"Games following international fixtures are always complicated. The important thing is that we took three points tonight. We just trained together once this week. Our morale will be high in Barcelona."

"The coach came up with a much more offensive lineup today, but the defence's work was excellent nonetheless. We increasingly play better together."

"We dominated throughout the match and we hit their posts twice. I think the 1-0 score is rather short."

"We must defeat Zurich and disregard whatever happens in the other game in our Champions League group."


GARAY
"Racing were a complicated opponent because they play well away from home. It's been a special match for me because I have many friends on that team. It was intense, but the important thing was to take three points and we did."

"We always strive to concede no goals. We did well in defence."

"We are ready to qualify for the next round in the Champions League. After facing Zurich we will play in Barcelona. This week will no doubt be crucial."

"The team is gradually improving. We hope to continue to lead in both La Liga and the Champions League."
