Real Madrid

Iker Casillas gave a great performance against Sevilla, making an amazing save to clear a shot by Del Moral. The captain nevertheless didn't want to make a big deal of it.

"All I do is run one way or the other to try to stop the ball from going in. My save today was similar to the one I made two years ago. The league is far from over, but this victory does boost our confidence."

"What matters is we've left last week's defeat behind us and that we earned an important victory over a difficult opponent. We had a very positive run that came to an end last week. Tasting victory again is very important. We are more at ease now."

"When one is as great a player as Cristiano Ronaldo and has such high standards it's normal for people to be demanding of you, maybe more than they should. He has proven time and again to be a great player and he responds when he has to. He is very important to us and we hope he continues to score many goals."

"It wasn't easy to win here, but we're leaders with a three-point cushion, which is important to us. I hope we have even more joy in 2012 and I want everyone to have good health in the new year."
