Marcelo: “We know what Cristiano brings to Madrid"

Marcelo spoke to the media following the win over Getafe and he praised the team's performance at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez: “It's a difficult place to come, everyone has that extra motivation when they're playing against Madrid. We conceded a goal, I don't know if it was off-side or not but that doesn't bother me. We did a great job, we were able to manage the game well after scoring and we ended up winning it”.

“We know what Cristiano brings to Madrid. He deserves a lot of credit for all he's done at Madrid and we know that when he has to show up, he does so. That happens in football, I couldn't tell you why. We're trying to improve with every game, trying to cut the gap to first place and continue fighting for all the points available”.

The Getafe pitch
"It doesn't matter, that's not the most important thing. Every team play as they need to play. We try to adapt to the pitch at every ground, it's no problem".

Lucas Vázquez: "We couldn't afford to drop points"
“It was a question of when the goal would come, the grass was long and the pitch was dry and it didn't help us. It was a difficult match, they made life hard for us. The team did a great job, it shouldn't have been such a hard-fought victory. The three points were crucial for us, we couldn't afford to drop any today”.
