Znedine Zidane discussed Real Madrid's goal fest at the Benito Villamarín: “I'm really pleased after the three draws in the league. We needed a match like this and we showed the intensity we needed to win from the start. It's a difficult ground, we started strongly and it's very tough for our opponents if we play like that”.
“I've got good players, they're intelligent. They knew we had to start strongly and they did that superbly. Playing like that from the first minute makes it difficult for the opponent. We worked towards trying to do that and now we have to be consistent and continue in the same way. It's a reference point. It's not easy to play like that away from home”.
