Granero and Drenthe were new on the starting lineup. Both men were satisfied with the victory against Racing.
GRANERO
"We played a serious game. It was important to win and it was a shame not to score more goals. We deserved it. The three points were important and crucial games now follow suit."
"The score was rather short. We had clear chances on goal that we failed to capitalise on. I felt great on the pitch. I played in a new position to me because I had to do a bit of everything in midfield."
DRENTHE
"I played because I've been working hard. I think the coach is happy with my work. It hurt me to miss four or five games."
"It is always complicated to win in La Liga. If we fail to score a second strike other teams may complicate a match for us."
"We are hungry for titles and the Clasico will be a great match. We must be strong to win at Camp Nou. Our match against Zurich will also be important. we need to win to reach the next round in the Champions League"
