Real Madrid

Assistant coach Aitor Karanka addressed the media the day prior to facing Zaragoza in La Liga.

"The squad is thinking about the match against Zaragoza, which will surely be difficult. Despite the shape they're in, they managed to cause an upset against us last year. The squad only thinks about winning and giving another good performance."

"What matters is that the fans support the team. Whenever they chant the coach's name he points to the pitch so that the audience supports the players, which is the most important thing of all. I believe Mourinho is as excited as ever, if not more, in every game."

"Real Madrid players know how to lose gracefully. This club's history has us accustomed to winning and not losing that way. I think the team gave a spectacular image against Barcelona. It's just another game now; we must remember the impression we made and think about our next league game."
